It will have been 14 years since Wicker last won a race in 2010. A decade ago, he’d have been first-tier, today he’s second-tier at best. Good news for the GOP that a lot of top candidates have passed on this (especially given the likely climate in ‘10), but still, this is the cursed seat for which no incumbent has been reelected since 1968, and even a second-tier nobody took out Elizabeth Dole last year, which shouldn’t have happened.
Has Mike Easley ruled out a run, or merely not said anything?
