MIM – Thompson Staffers Went On $150k Trip

Open Seats Offer The Best Chances, But…

With Harvey Moss’ decision to not seek re-election after serving for 28 years, it created another open seat for the Democrats. By my count, that is now eight Democratic held seats that went for Haley Barbour in 2007 that are now open. The general thinking is, and has often been, that Republicans have their best chances of picking up these ancestral Democratic seats when they are open.

We all know Republicans were one vote away from defeating Billy McCoy in January 2008, and looking back there were a handful of open seats that Republicans failed to capture which made the difference.

Majority in Miss.
