Looks like Obamacare might be a big issue in Mississippi’s attorney general race this year:

Mississippi Department of Public Safety Commissioner Stephen B. Simpson announced on Monday he is running for the state’s attorney general post.
“I will represent and address all of the concerns of all Mississippians, including overreaching federal mandates on Mississippi, on fighting our public corruption issue we’ve seen in the last several years, and also standing up, obviously, strong for consumer advocates,” he said at the state Republican Party headquarters in Jackson, according to The Associated Press. Democrat Jim Hood is seeking a third term as attorney general.
Simpson, during his campaign announcement, also said he would continue to challenge President Barack Obama’s federal health care reform act. Last year, Gov. Haley Barbour hired a private attorney and joined the multi-state lawsuit filed by former Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum. Hood reportedly ignored the governor’s request to join the suit.

Obamacare spelled doom for so many Southern Democrats; why not throw one more on the pile?
