After surveying the blogs, I learned that this poll included party labels when identifying the candidates. Throw it out.
party labels hurt Wicker
I would assume that the swingy white hill Democrats in Wicker's area know who he is - that's the key vote anyway.
Personally, I suspect most voters actually know these things, odd as it may sound, and will know it by election time.
Do you think the Wicker campaign will make Wicker/McCain signs, for example?
Do you think the Musgrove campaign will make Musgrove/Obama signs? Oh whoops...
What will the black people think, however?
Not much if they're only placed in white areas. Combine it with advertising on black talk radio, and you have a pretty reasonable campaign strategy that prevents most people of each race from knowing that you're pandering shamelessly.
