Expert: Nunnelee will win 1st District seat
A Mississippi State University political expert is predicting a win for Republican challenger Alan Nunnelee in the 1st Congressional District, since incumbent Democrat Travis Childers no longer has the luxury of running alongside a popular presidential candidate.
The prediction by Marty Wiseman, director of the Stennis Institute of Government and nationally recognized authority on Southern politics, came at an election refresher Wednesday at the university, courtesy of Wiseman and other political experts.
Wiseman said the seven third party candidates running in the 1st District on essentially Republican principles could hurt Nunnelee, but doesn’t believe they’ll steal enough votes to cost him the race.
