Here’s my NYT dispatch from the Neshoba County Fair. You want some history? Here’s Reagan’s (infamous, to some) 1980 “states’ rights” speech.

A few noteworthy blogospheric riffs on my piece for The Times yesterday on the Cochran-McDaniel race in Mississippi: representing the right, Breitbart,  over here; and, representing the left, Ed Kilgore in the Washington Monthly, over here.

Happy reading, divided America!
