Musgrove, who was defeated for reelection in 2003 by Republican Haley Barbour, is one of a few Democrats with statewide name recognition who have been mentioned as prospective candidates for an open seat.
The Democrat acknowledges that he would have to make a decision about the race quickly if Lott resigns before the end of the year, since that timing would require Barbour to call a special election within 90 days to fill the vacancy.

Awesome. If I recall an article by Bob Novak correctly, he mentioned that Republican polling back in 2006 had them concerned back then about a potential run by either Musgrove or Moore because they were beating their golden boys (Wicker, Pickering) in hypothetical matchups.
