How will the Mississippi's Governors race play out.

Mississippi maps are no fun.

White counties = blue
Black counties = red

You don't think that Eaves's Jesus crap will persuade any whites?

Eaves will flip a few counties that are a slim-majority white.

I hate that picture you have...such a horrible game. We Tigers have turned things around since. This weekend is Ole Miss vs. Auburn at Auburn. I'm assuming you are a MS state fan?

Oh yeah.  I'm a student at MSU and a lifelong football fan....this whole decade has been indescribably awful, and it looks like we may finally be looking up.  I am a member of the marching band and go to all the road games I can.  I was there at Jordan-Hare that day and watching Brandon Cox's 4th and goal pass hit the ground harmlessly is probably one of the top 10 memories of my life.  To be in the sliver of the stadium of MSU fans going orgasmically wild and looking around at 80,000 stunned Tiger fans was amazing.

Yeah, things really started out rough for us this year, including the MS state game. That was the first game Tubby put Kodi Burns in. Of course being his first game, he was pretty nervous...then he puts Cox back in, and what does he do...yeah...blows the game for us. Congrats on beating Kentucky...WOW! Who do you all play this coming weekend?

I think he may get more than a few. Mississippi gubernatorial races are usually highly competitive.

It should be closer than Bush/Kerry for sure.  Barbour will probably slightly improve on his 2003 % and get around 53-54%.  Eaves is a good candidate for a Mississippi Democrat and should keep it close, but I just don't see him taking down the Barbour juggernaught, unfortunately.  It doesn't help that our downballot candidates aren't particularly strong outside of lt. gov. and insurance commish.
Don't let fundraising numbers fool you...Eaves isn't raising money but self-financing his campaign entirely, and using it as a campaign point to show how he's not in anyone's pocket.
