Good read from Bill Minor

Bill Minor has an interesting article on the current state of politics in Mississippi. He closes with questions most of us who follow politics closely are asking:

Even as he leaves the governor’s office, the question remains: Is Barbour going to keep a hand in the Republican machine he has built in Mississippi? That raises the other logical question: If Phil Bryant becomes governor, will he continue to be a puppet with Haley pulling the strings?

My guess is that Bryant, should he become governor, won't be easily controlled by Barbour. That may lead Barbour to focus more on D.C. lobbying than anything else.
