2007 Mississippi Primaries

[RBH]

The candidates, with my picks

(note: my picks come mostly from looking at financial info and other bits of info I know)

Governor, Democratic: Eaves with around 70%
Governor, Republican: Barbour with around 90%
Lt. Governor, Republican: Charlie Ross
Secretary of State, Democratic: Windsor and Smith in a runoff
Secretary of State, Republican: Hosemann and Rupp in a runoff
State Auditor, Democratic: Jacob Ray
State Auditor, Republican: Stacey Pickering
Insurance Commissioner, Democratic: Gary Anderson narrowly
Insurance Commissioner, Republican: Mike Chaney
Ag Commissioner, Republican: Lester Spell

So, any other predictions (this means you, Harry)

[RBH]

Here's a list of candidates with how much they spent and how much they have.

I think that Dale beats Chaney, and Chaney beats Anderson.

But, if Spell is that vulnerable, he could lose to Cole.

I thought that Toins would have a shot, but the reports i've noticed listing him as not filing reports makes me think that he's not going to get a lot of votes.

As for Ross/Bryant matchup. I'm motivated to take Ross since he's in the state senate and probably has a regional base.

I read that Bryant got the endorsement by Jim Gilchrist, and Ross was endorsed by the NRA and RTL

Did John Windsor piss off some people in the Delta area or something?

Smith is just stomping him, and I don't get it.. voter guides? something else?

[RBH]

Erik Fleming is about to lose his state house seat to Kimberly Campbell. Any idea what happened there?

[RBH]

When the last precinct reported in HD95, Upshaw/Johnson went from a 10 vote margin, to a 649 vote margin

Either someone messed up reporting.. or Linda Johnson isn't well liked somewhere

[RBH]

Five state Senators are going down, so far..

Cuevas lost, Mettetal might be going to a runoff, Thomas lost in the 21st, Morgan lost, Robertson is trailing
