After surveying the blogs, I learned that this poll included party labels when identifying the candidates. Throw it out.
party labels hurt Wicker
Not in Mississiippi. Though it may help Wicker if AA voters don't know which one is the Democrat.
I would assume that the swingy white hill Democrats in Wicker's area know who he is - that's the key vote anyway.
Personally, I suspect most voters actually know these things, odd as it may sound, and will know it by election time.
Do you think the Wicker campaign will make Wicker/McCain signs, for example?
Do you think the Musgrove campaign will make Musgrove/Obama signs? Oh whoops...
I'd like to see some McCain/Musgrove signs. If it works for Arlen Specter...
Unless you choose to analyze the Senate results based on Philly wards and such (which I'd do but that's another long story about getting election results in this city. Don't get me started. Seriously...), you're really not going to know if it "worked."
