Problem is, Musgrove has won statewide twice. He lost only the time he had an opponent far more popular than he. Wicker has won zero times statewide. This could end up as uncomfortable as when Congressman Mike Parker ran for Governor against Musgrove in 1999.

True, but even his intital gubernatorial victory was by only about 9,000 votes, and much of that came out of northern Mississippi, where Roger Wicker used to represent. In a presidential year, one would think Musgrove would have to climb more uphill to win. I don't even know what his appeal there is. You barely win the first time (for governor) and get beat for re-election, how is he even close to an incumbent Republican for a federal office?
