In the 2003 gubernatorial, Haley Barbour beat Musgrove. Barbour got 77% of the white vote and Musgrove got 94% of the black vote. However, blacks only made up 30% of voters.

In 2008, my guess is blacks turning out for Obama will make up 40% of the electorate and that spells trouble for Wicker.

I don't think ol' toe-sucker Musgrove has much of a chance. He might make it close, but he has got a lot of baggage to overcome
