Reeves is pretty young: 35 or 36.  Perhaps he'd try for Thad Cochran's Senate seat when it becomes open due to retirement instead of running for Governor.

Looking at the Democratic Governorship primary vote, you can really pick out the racial makeup of the counties in Mississippi pretty easily.

If Bill Maloney's WV ads are much different than along the lines of "Why wait until 2012; Let's send Obama a message now," he is missing the boat.  Properly marketed, in a state with the political climate of WV, that approach should have brought him to victory.

All this for a one year term as governor.  Of course the winner will have a huge advantage for the 4 year term that is to be contested in Nov 2012.

Does anyone have a website for returns tomorrow night?

I predict Maloney 49.1, Tomblin 47.9, others 3.0%.
