"The campaign for Attorney General is now officially over."

Jere Nash has a blog post up today discussing the Simpson-Manieri fiasco that erupted yesterday. For those not following along, you can read about it here, here, here, and here, but it can best be summed up thusly:
Jeremy Wayne Manieri pled guilty to molesting a child in October of 2006. Steve Simpson, the Republican Attorney General nominee, sentenced Manieri to 1 year in prison, when the max was 15 and the minimum was 2. Manieri allegedly murdered a Catholic priest in Waveland last week.
Nash's post, entitled "The Gift", can be read here. Nash, a longtime observer of Mississippi politics, ends the post with the following line: "The campaign for Attorney General is now officially over."
