Mississippi Dem in Senate unlikely but possible

Even in an election year that hardly could be worse for Republicans, nobody expected they would be at risk of losing a Senate seat in Mississippi.

The state hasn’t elected a Democratic senator since John Stennis’ re-election in 1982, nor has it voted for a Democratic White House candidate in seven presidential elections.

“Everybody’s conservative in Mississippi. It doesn’t matter if you’re black or white, Republican or Democrat, if you’re trying to stretch some money for 30 to 31 days in a month,” said Marty Wiseman, director of the John C. Stennis Institute of Government at Mississippi State University.

News forcasters have the same crappy record that weather forcasters do.

The polls in Mississippi are real close. I don't think the results will be as close as the polls suggest.

Situation: many blacks are reporting they're registered to vote, when they aren't, because they want to vote for Obama. As a result, you have a huge universe of self-reported black "voters" who tell pollsters they'll vote for Musgrove, but who will not be able to vote for a variety of reasons -- lack of ID, never registered or felon status.

Let’s hope not. Way too much Commie Red elsewhere.

Mississippi is one of those states where you are not required to show ID.
