What the hell happened to Scott Newton? He ran a good campaign with good ads, etc. How the heck is it so lopsided? Hood let murderers go free with plea bargains.

Folks that know Newton from here says he is arrogant and inexperienced. I don't know.

Did you see the interview where he and Hood were both questioned....The guy couldn't finish a sentence and looked down at the desk most of the time??????? Didn't come over honest or articulate....

Hood is very well-funded, thanks to his friendly stance towards the trial lawyer crowd. He had an army of supporters with signs parading around downtown Jackson today.

It's a shame that the public decides who should be atty. genral on the basis of advertisements about crime-fighting. The attorney general's office does MUCH more than just prosecute criminal cases.
