More Mississippi Party Switching

Looks like the Democratic Party’s fight in Mississippi just got a little more difficult today.  Two State House members switched to the Republicans, bringing the Democrats majority to only 16 seats.  One seat in the House is still vacant, as Steven Palazzo vacated his State House seat to succeed Congressman Gene Taylor in Mississippi’s 4th Congressional District.

  1. that Republicans will gain not only state Senate, but House as well in November in this state. They need to gain 10 seats, and with possible other party switches (there are still some conservative Democrats in House, though – really few now) – even less then that..

  2. control of anything of any particular value in Mississippi?

    Honestly, I don’t think the state will see real progress until the black + hispanic share of the electorate goes above ~48%.
