Good news all around!
this early in an election cycle. I don’t even think he was predicting gains that big in 2006.
He is way off on MS-01 being a tossup. It’s easily a Lean D contest in November. Mississippi loves incumbants and Childers should have to problems holding this seat given the political environment.
For now. And it is more likely to grow than shrink.
