Candidates Should Debate
It is rather disappointing that there will be no debate in the Senate races, but as usual, Mississippi is in the minority. 19 states will enjoy debates in their respective U.S. Senate races.

Lump Mississippi in with California and New York (Cue up the Pace Picante Sauce Commercial.)
