Election Results:

The first of the three races for Attorney General this fall went to the
polls this past Saturday with Attorney General Buddy Caldwell officially
clinching reelection.

Attorney General Caldwell, who switched parties to the GOP in early 2011,
was unopposed in his reelection bid.

Caldwell began the campaign season with an in-party challenge from former US
Rep. Joe Cao and but unofficially won after Cao dropped out in September.
Cao had launched his campaign promising to bring a real Republican voice to
the Attorney General’s office but withdrew several months later after
limited fundraising and campaigning.

Next month should see two highly contested elections in Kentucky and
Mississippi where both Attorney General Jack Conway and Attorney General Jim
Hood are up for reelection against Republican challengers. To support their
campaigns visit their websites at [3]Jack Conway for AG and [4]Jim Hood for
Attorney General.

In the News

[5]Hood says political foe abused his office at DPS
_The Jackson Clarion Ledger_– October 24, 2011
Former Public Safety Commissioner Steve Simpson billed Mississippi taxpayers
$409.87 for a 2009 dinner at Miko's at the Pearl River Resort, listing state
Rep. Bennett Malone, state Sen. Billy Hewes and Insurance Commissioner Mike
Chaney as meeting with him for a Department of Public Safety "Budget
Priorities Dinner Meeting." Malone, Hewes and Chaney all told The
Clarion-Ledger they did not eat at Miko's with Simpson, nor did he pay for
their meals.

[6]Endorsement: Keep Conway as attorney general
_Lexington Herald Leader_ – October 23, 2011
Even while waging a losing campaign for U.S. Senate last year, Jack Conway
has done a solid job as Kentucky's attorney general and has some ideas that
could make him even more effective in a second term. His challenger,
two-term Hopkins County Attorney Todd P'Pool, may well have a future in
politics, but this campaign has revealed he is less than ready for the
office he seeks.

[7]Inslee, McKenna get serious
_The Seattle Post-Intelligencer _– October 22, 2011
The rival 2012 candidates for governor and attorney general spent a blustery
Saturday morning here, but in an Eastside Candidate Forum that blocked out
partisan bluster. Rep. Jay Inslee, D-Wash., talked about preschool education
and underperforming teachers, rather than his recent rhetorical flourishes
directed at such Democratic demons as Karl Rove, the billionaire Koch
brothers and Tim Eyman.

[8]Dem poll: Montana gov race tight
_Politico_ – October 20, 2011
A new Democratic poll being released Thursday shows a competitive race for
the open gubernatorial seat in Montana, with the leading candidates from
both parties largely undefined to voters a year from the election. Higher
favorability ratings propel Attorney General Steve Bullock to a 4-point lead
over former GOP Rep. Rick Hill, according to the survey by Project New West.
Bullock, a Democrat, takes 42 percent to Hill's 38 percent, according to
the Oct. 2-Oct. 4 poll of 500 voters.
