What would happen if Mississippi became 50% black?

[Padfoot]

I think a truly 50-50 state would actually end up being more beneficial to Republicans in the long run.  Since the state would essentially be a toss-up based on current racial voting patterns it would probably start out as a turnout competition.  However it could evolve into a "vote stealing" operation where the GOP starts using Mississippi as a test lab for how to win more black voters.  Once they perfected their strategies they could take them nationwide and potentially decimate the current Democratic hold on black voters.
