   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.
