Mississippi/Alabama

[Frodo]

how long do you all think it will take before the state legislatures in Alabama and Mississippi turn Republican like much of the rest of the South?

When the states suburbanise enough I guess

k, follow up:

if those Democratic legislators who currently compose the majority in both the Alabama and Mississippi state legislatures were to retire, who would likely to replace them -on average?  Republicans, or other Democrats?  just how much of this current majority they currently hold in both states' legislatures is really based on incumbency and seniority?  and are they a dying breed of southern Democrats?
