My worry is that Haley Barbour might get the appointment.

If it’s April Fools, it sure is being widely announced. And I think the April Fools jokes must be done on April 1.

Everybody kept saying McC of AZ would be the first to go in 2018, but that may not be so after all.

Mine, too, but the seat should go to the state senator who would have won but for Barbour's and others' meddling and dirty dealing.

Anyone from Mississippi or elsewhere who knows what the state law provides for selecting a replacement?

The new senator must be someone who will win reelection. No more Roy Moores.

Why can’t he resign on 31 March?

That would be a nightmare.

It’s hard to win when your own party kneecaps you for the Democrat to win.

Whoever the pick, someone will accuse them of sexual harassment forty years ago.
