   Tuesday’s elections yielded exciting victories for DAGA’s two incumbent
   Attorneys General; reelection Jack Conway of Kentucky and Jim Hood of
   Mississippi.

   In Kentucky, Attorney General Jack Conway defeated Republican challenger
   Todd P’Pool by receiving 55% of the vote to P’Pool’s 45%. General Conway
   attributed his success to the Kentucky voters, and their desire to see him
   continue the important work that his office has done over the past four
   years. In his acceptance speech General Conway pledged to continue the
   efforts of the last four years and focus on the work that is more important
   to Kentuckians. General Conway referenced in his speech attempts by P’Pool
   to make the campaign about fighting the federal government, including
   P’Pool’s pledge to join the multi-state health care lawsuit and fighting
   government over reach. General Conway praised the voters for recognizing the
   importance of focusing on Kentucky saying: “we won this race because we
   focused together on what it means to be the Attorney General of the
   Commonwealth of Kentucky.”

   victory check out the article in the Louisville Courier-Journal: Jack Conway

   Further south, Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood cruised to reelection
   last night garnering 61% of the vote in his race against hand-picked GOP
   nominee Steve Simpson. General Hood was able to hold on to the one statewide
   position held by Democrats last night in Mississippi after polling found
   that he held significant fan bases amongst Democrats, Independents and
   Republican voters. General Hood said last night that he believes he won
   because the voters appreciated the work he has done while in office and want
   him to continue protecting the people of Mississippi.

   _[7]Penn State scandal thrusts Pa. official into spotlight_
   _Philadelphia Inquirer_ – By Angela Couloumbis, November 8, 2011
   When she took the job of state attorney general in May, longtime Pittsburgh
   prosecutor Linda Kelly inherited a tinderbox of criminal cases. First, there
   were the myriad political-corruption investigations that have ensnared
   Democrats and Republicans in the legislature. And, it turns out, there was
   also an explosive probe unfolding into child-sex-abuse allegations at
   Pennsylvania State University, one that resulted in charges this past
   weekend against a former football coach and two other university officials.

   [8]Newcastle hosts forum for high-profile state candidates
   _Newcastle News_ –  November 3, 2011
   Candidates for the state’s top office met Newcastle residents and laid out
   dueling plans for the future Oct. 22 during a forum at The Golf Club at
   Newcastle. The candidates for governor, Republican Rob McKenna and Democrat
   Jay Inslee, touted education reform as top priorities for the state more
   than a year before voters choose a successor to outgoing Gov. Chris
   Gregoire. State attorney general hopefuls Reagan Dunn, a Republican, and Bob
   Ferguson, a Democrat, also participated in the Eastside Candidate Forum. The
   candidates — both King County councilmen — said more should be done
   statewide to protect consumers from fraud and foreclosure.

   [9]W.Va. Attorney General Warns of Telemarketing Extortion Scam
   _The State Journal_ –  November 3, 2011
   Scam artists posing as Food and Drug Administration special agents have
   recently targeted West Virginians who have purchased drugs online or over
   the telephone, according to a news release from the state's Attorney General
   Darrell McGraw. Using lists from previous purchase transactions, callers
   will tell consumers that purchasing drugs over the Internet or telephone is
   illegal and that a fine ranging from $100 to $250,000 must be paid.

   _Missouri News Horizon_ –  November 2, 2011
   Missourians are advised to avoid a new e-mail scam that is making the rounds
   and concealing itself in the reputation of a reliable company. Attorney

   them for thousands of dollars for tickets they did not purchase. He said
