The MS legislature is the last Southern statehouse that will flip to the GOP in November.

This is one way to win elections.

You challenge every single open position in every single state regardless of how blue that state is then make sure you have and vet good, smart and wise fiscally conservative candidates who espouse low taxes and limited government.

RINOS and Democrats may make the endangered species act. If so the government might place a bag limit in the 2012 election season.

I think you’ve got a good formula there.

Not if the former are elected and re-elected in 2012 as they were in 2010 and 2008.

Jamie Franks and the Mississippi Democrat part's antagonism toward conservative whites probably has a lot to do with their current level of members.

By the way, Haley Barbour was first elected Governor in 2003 not 2001.

What are the current numbers in the Mississippi Legislature? I tried searching around and couldn’t find ‘em.

Is the GOP close to grabbing control of either chamber?

AR is still Democrat, as is the KY House and VA Senate.

As of Feb 17th, the GOP has a majority in the MS Senate, 27R-24D-1 Vacant. In the MS House, the Dems have a 69D-53R majority.

Cool. Thanks for the info.

Of the 69 Dems, I suspect that the majority are black or rural conservative-leaning whites.

Wouldn’t it stand to reason that the rural conservative-leaning whites are gonna vote with the GOP members - thus meaning that a conservative majority already exists in the Ms House?

I think many of rural conservative leaning whites are switching over to the Republican party. I think it is not too far off in the future that black from the South will see that their future lies with the Republican party.
