Come 2020 Democrats have a better chance of having governors in Georgia, Kansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Kentucky and Mississippi than they do in Massachusetts and Maryland. Anyways, Hood is a fantastic recruit and this race is at least Lean D.

Lean/Likely D might be going a bit far, but this definitely gives Democrats hope here, and it's certainly more likely to flip than Kentucky.

And for the first time since 2003, all three of LA, MS and KY will be seriously contested.

And you all know how I generally feel about Democrats’ chances in the south, but I’m excited about this one

This is the best shot at the best time we could possibly have, at least for the foreseeable future. The fact that he has won all his races by double digits (or just shy of 10 points in 2015) should inspire confidence too.

Tate Reeves is going to clock him pretty badly Strong Lean R for now. Would have been Likely R with anyone else besides Presley who would have made the race the same as Hood. Governor's race is a completely different animal with stronger GOP candidates.

Hood is an ideal Democratic candidate for state like Mississippi: economic populist and, generally, social conservative: pro-life, pro-gun , and so on. The only type of Democrat, who could be competitive statewide in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana (essentially, JBE is the same) or Oklahoma too.

Jones is unabashedly pro-choice, but then again, Hood probably won't be running against a pedophile.

Exactly. Against anyone, but Roy Moore, Jones would lose handily.

Tate Reeves is pretty unpopular and polling has confirmed this.  A Mason-Dixon poll from April had Hood leading Reeves 44-39 and Reeves with only +10 favorability (compared to +29 for Hood)

I'm endorsing Hood and think he will win something like 53-45 in the end

I’m convinced Hood has an advantage if our local MS GOPer thinks he does/supports him

What makes Hood so popular in the state in the first place? I tried to do some google-fu but it didn’t answer the question so I may as well ask here.
