What the hell happened to Scott Newton? He ran a good campaign with good ads, etc. How the heck is it so lopsided? Hood let murderers go free with plea bargains.

Well with 6% of Precints Reporting it appears that Amy Tuck is outpolling Barbour, though Barbour is up against a much more formidable opponent and is still winning by 1%.

[bourbon]

I think I read all 500+ posts in about 30 minutes total. My head is spinning. I hope I didn't miss anything.

[MississippiMan]

BARBOUR 50/49 with 6%

[deport]

It worries me that Barbour is running that far behind Tuck.

May be an indication of things to come....... I don't know the politics of MS but both are running as Republicans... but she is the incumbent

[Magnolia]

Thanks Bob.

[gocats]

Wait until N.E. M.S. reports in then Haley will take off

[vetvetdoug]

Folks that know Newton from here says he is arrogant and inexperienced. I don't know.

[bourbon]

Nip & Tuck is on? I can't believe you watch that show. ;-)

[BlessedAmerican]

Did you see the interview where he and Hood were both questioned....The guy couldn't finish a sentence and looked down at the desk most of the time??????? Didn't come over honest or articulate....

[Pubbie]

Barbour is running against a more powerful opponent than Tuck is.

[WKB]

50\49 Haley

[wardaddy]

I dunno.

Jackson will go heavily Musgrove of course.

[Magnolia]

Honeychil...you KNOW better than that..LOL!

[gocats]

Barbour expected to run behind Tuck. Almost everyone loves her down here and her opponent is an idiot.

[mike_9958]

YES !!!!!!!!

Flecther took Kentucky.. broke the 32 year reign of the RATS in the Governor's office..

[onyx]

It's still 50/49 Haley --- he's led from the get go.

Would Jackson's precincts be responsible for narrowing Haley's lead?

[wylenetheconservative]

These numbers will improve. Trust me on that. Several Republicans are in the high teens and low 20's right now. The GOP base has to be at least 30%. These numbers will improve throughout the night.

[rushmom]

Haley 50-49 with how many precincts reporting? Is this the latest?

[Hildy]

Why on earth is this taking so long?
