State of the race, Mississippi is in play

The current electoral battlefield shows Mississippi's six electoral votes up for grabs. Team Obama has laid claim to GOP strongholds like Virginia, North Carolina and Florida. The next state in line in the South is Georgia. Georgia has polled remarkably close to Mississippi this cycle. Mississippi Democrats have more black voters while the Georgia Dems make up the difference with an influx of highly educated white voters, a lot of them imports to Atlanta.

Big news out of Georgia today. Saxby Chambliss who enjoyed a near 20 point lead a few weeks back is in a dead heat with Jim Martin. If there is anyone I want to see lose it is Saxby. He is a real piece of work. He "swiftboated" triple amputee Vietnam hero Max Cleeland as being a terrorist sympathizer and won in 2002. The other big news from the peach state is John McCain only has a 3 point lead over Obama in the big race. Folks if Georgia is that close, so are we. I am dying for a new Mississippi poll.

Voter turnout might just make some peoples heads explode in a few weeks. Ronnie Musgrove is starting to look more and more like a sure thing and Obama is looking like the race to watch as far as Mississippi is concerned.

Yes. We. Can.
