Yes, but he lost by 10,000 votes in a low-turnout non-presidential year (although there was a gubernatorial election going on)

No gubernatorial election in 2002. I suppose they might have had something state-related on the ballot but I don't know what that would be.

You're right, my bad. Barbour was elected in 2003, not 2002.

As Homer would say, "Shtupid odd-year elections."
