Seeing all these threads about the Repubs being scared about the loss in MS01 that I started pondering how red a district it is (or WAS).
In 2004 the voters in that district went for Bush 62% - 37% ... a 25 point landslide.
On tuesday, the voters in that district went for the Democrat 54% - 46%... an 8 point victory.
Thats a 33 point swing in less than 4 years. Amazing!
And that last result wasnt from a lack of trying on the Repubs part, they brought in every heavy hitter GOPer in the state to campaign, they even got a visit by Darth Vader himself, and all told they poured over $2 million in campaign cash into it.
Even with all that .... a full one third of the entire electorate went from the Repubs to the Dems.
That is just an incredible shift in voting...
I think people are finally waking up!
