Mississippi's electoral laws make a close race even more interesting:
If no candidate gets over 50% it goes to the Democrat dominated State House.
In other words, Barbour could end up ahead of Musgrove by a decent margin, but still lose.
Lousiania is also very close.
The GOP seem to have the advantage in Kentucky...but only just.
All three are worth a watch.
Actually, here's the way our electoral law works: The winning candidate must win a majority of the popular vote and a majority of the State House districts. If that doesn't happen, then the election goes to the lesgislature. In fact, that happened back in 1999. Musgrove was running against former U.S. Representative Mike Parker. Musgrove won the popular vote, but each candidate won 61 House districts. Musgrove won the election in the Legislature.
