Awful for the GOP, really.

Republican nominees have not lost Mississippi in a Presidential election since Carter won it on his 'good ol' boy' appeal in 1976. It was probably close with Bill Clinton.

Just about any Republican nominee stands to win Mississippi in 2016, but if this state is at all close, then Hillary Clinton has a huge win awaiting her.

Good news for America -- the huge polarization that one associates with Barack Obama seems to be abating. As a partisan Democrat I would love to see Iowa as a lock for her, but I see the muting of the political acrimony that has poisoned American politics as a good thing even if such favors Republicans. A President winning twenty states by margins in the high teens or more and losing a raft of states by margins in the twenties may be good for electing a President but poor for the political climate.
