BILOXI, MS (WLOX) - At the Ocean Springs Civic Center, the lines were long as voters waited to cast their ballots. The turnout surprised some poll workers, like Paula Clifford.
"I am. I'm very surprised at what we've had so far. We've had more people come in and vote this time than we had the last time," Clifford explained.
Voters, like Robert Kline, seem to sense that something big is about to happen, no matter who wins.
"This is very important to our state, picking out the congressman we want to continue, and I just felt like it was a civic duty to do," Kline said.
At the St. Martin Community Center, it's much the same. The parking lot is full. Also full is the roadside curb, full of campaign signs for the two candidates. Jim Sumrall is the Poll Manager here.

Bad news
Nope, good news.
How do you figure?
(Dem) turnout up?
Typical Team Romney cheating.
Looking for out of state voters showing up in large
numbers, close to interstate highways.
Cheating, backstabbing: The Team Romney way.
If this phenomenon were legit, those new voters would be voting TEA party be ause this would indicate that people were fed up with the establishment business as usual.
No way to tell which way the extra vote is going and it depends on the county. If the TP voters got pissed at Thad then it will go McDaniel. If the Chaos crossover vote strategy worked it would help Thad. Etc.
Voting for “free” stuff paid for by taxpayers in other states is always popular. Shame on Cochran and his freeloaders!
>> Nope, good news.
“picking out the >>congressman<< we want to continue”
If they’re all as ignorant as Robert here, I’d have to agree with Viennacon and lean towards BAD news... hope I’m wrong.
A smaller turnout always favors the challenger
If Cochran succeeds because of courting the Dems, then I will never again vote for a Republican candidate who takes one thin dime from the RNC.
C - 192 votes
M - 72 votes
First results in: Chris:248, Thad:95.
McDaniel - 507 votes
Hubby just said those very words.
Chris 816
Thad 619
Cochran - 1,049
McDaniel - 807
