Mississippi
Gov. Ronnie Musgrove (D) vs. Sen. Roger Wicker (R)
The polls in the race for Trent Lott’s old seat are just about as close as they can get. Democrat Ronnie Musgrove and interim Senator Roger Wicker have been trading the lead for months.
Make no mistake. Mississippi is top territory for Democrats. But Republicans always do well in the Deep South, so Musgrove is working hard to persuade independent and even Republican voters. Both sides are blitzing the state with TV ads.
What’s going to make the difference in this race? You are. Thanks to your support, the DSCC is already running ads in Mississippi to expose Wicker’s sordid record. As long as we can count on you along the way, the DSCC will be able to make the investments necessary to win on Election Day.
This is going to be one of those races – like Montana and Virginia in 2006 – where we win by just a few thousand votes. You helped the DSCC make all the difference before and I know we will do it again.
