Alison Lundergan Grimes taught me not to get my hopes up about supposedly-competitive races in the south. I’m applying that lesson to Hood as well.
This
ALG ran for federal office in a state far more Republican than MS in a more favorable environment for Republicans and still outperformed Obama by 7 points. Hardly the best comparison.
If people actually believe Hood will do eight points worse than Espy, I have a bridge to sell them.
I mean I think they will track pretty closely. I see Hood doing better in the ancestrally dem NE counties than Espy, but worse in the delta.
