Could Mississippi turn blue? Looks like there is a better chance than ever before. Democrat Travis Childers beat his Republican opponent to fill the seat left vacant by Trent Lott and filled temporarily by Roger Wicker.
The GOP tried to tie him to Obama, Nancy Pelosi and the national Democratic policies, but Childers, a conservative Democrat managed to shrug off the threat and win. In a state with a large African-American population the GOP tactic of trying to associate Childers with Obama may have backfired.
Even Dick Cheney made a visit to try to sway voters at the last minute, but “Darth Vader” was no match for the will of the people. Look to Mississippi for a real surprise in November!
