MIM looks at politics 5 and 9 years from now

Looking At 2015 and 2019

I know the 2011 elections are still 10 months away, but I like looking into the future and wanted to take a look at 2015 and 2019. A couple months can be an eternity in politics, so what does that say about four or eight years? But still, I wanted to look at this and what it means for statewide office holders and others with aspirations to become governor or lieutenant governor.

In 2011, either Phil Bryant or Dave Dennis is likely to win their first term as governor. For lieutenant governor, chances are it will be either Tate Reeves or Billy Hewes. Also, there first term. And with Bryant or Dennis, they would likely run for a second term. Therefore, I would expect Reeves or Hewes to run for a second term.

Majority in Miss.
