LeanSafe R Toss-up until proven otherwise

I just do not think that Espy has a chance of winning. It's Mississippi after all.

That’s what they said about Doug Jones. Espy can definitely win this, especially since turnout in the runoff is likely to favor Democrats.

LOL, I knew that someone would bring up Doug Jones. Doug Jones's victory was an anomaly.

If Roy Moore wasn't a pedophile, he would have coasted to victory.

Yeah, and I disagree with your assumption, which is why I brought up Jones' victory. Either way, Democrats have won special elections in many solidly Republican districts so far, so saying that this race is Safe R in a massive Democratic wave year (presumably?) because "it’s Mississippi after all" makes little sense, especially since the decisive election will be held on Nov. 27, not Nov. 6.

Nah, I just don't see it happening. If Espy does win then I would be absolutely shocked but also very happy.

Fair enough, it’s always good to lower expectations.
