Is anyone willing to be bold and predict a Zinn victory?

It would be awesome, but he's the wrong kind of Democrat to pull off a victory in District 1, and he's not facing a flawed Republican like Childers did when he won.

About what I figured. We can be competitive in Mississippi under circumstances, and this race didn't come close to resembling those circumstances.

Zinn seems like a cool guy, but I don't see him ever winning any real office, unless he can somehow slide into the state legislature one day (and who would want to do that anyway?)

In Black-majority state legislative district - why not?
I mean, he could. There's just a lot of people who want those seats though, so why him? He was the only Democrat to even bother for this hopeless seat, but a safe D legislative seat will be a very tough challenge for anyone.

I'll be interested to see who replaces Bennie Thompson in MS-02 in a few years. Zinn won't run for that position, but some (or several) black Democrats will. I'm sure most of you know that MS-02 is the only congressional district in the state where blacks are the majority and has a PVI of D+10.
Yeah, that one could get really ugly...
