Assuming Jim Hood loses the governor's race, does anyone see him running for another statewide office?  Or have Republicans just slain their last white southern Democratic dragon in the state who could still mount a competitive campaign?

The latter. He'll never be heard from again, just like Mike Moore last decade.

[Arizona Iced Tea]

Alright fine Republicans, if you can flip LA you still won't win these elections but you can make it a tie.

This. Hood's defeat (and the flip of the AG position) completes the Republican takeover of Mississippi that began in 1964, with Goldwater, and is only now reaching fruition.

God-Emperor Beshear declaring victory.

And giving a hell of a Pro-Union and Pro-Education and Teaching program, along with cops and firefighters, etc....

[Cinemark]

Maybe its early, but Mississippi is closer than i thought it'd be.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Bevin's not conceding. He's alluded to "discrepancies" and "irregularities". ok gen xer.

PROJECTIONS: REPUBLICANS WIN ALL NON-GOV STATEWIDE CONTESTS IN MS

Also, in KY HD 18 Special , Republican Heavin defeats Democrat Miller

Excellent

[Bandit3 the Worker]

Our local Fox affiliate is in complete denial. They STILL won't call the race for Beshear, even with 100% of precincts reporting.

MS does seem close all of a sudden, but the state is so racially polarised, that it may just be a case of waiting for a vote dump from some white, conservative precincts that return it to the 10 point Reeves lead.

[Adam Griffin]

Doesn't look that close to me...



Though I fully expect it will continue to tighten.

Lol, you were saying.

Still, not a bad performance from Hood all things considered.

So Jay Hughes spent a whole year campaigning and spent lots of time and money trying to get the Lt. Gov. seat in MS, and he's going down 60-40 just like all the no-names for other races who didn't campaign at all. Ouch.

[Adam Griffin]

At any rate, NYT has been garbage all night and far behind CNN's count - so if you're relying on NYT results, ditch 'em:

Is there any realistic possibility Hood wins in Mississippi tonight?

It's a sincere question; I'm not familiar with the state.

[Epaminondas]

And so the goalpost shifting begins.

They got a net +1 of statewide offices, if I were Republican I'd be mostly happy. Beshear isn't a super liberal type either.

You should join in the happiness over at Breitbart comments then.
Have a look, see how delighted they are that Beshear is a moderate.

Yeah, if the final margin is 53-46, Dems have nothing to be ashamed of.

Well, other than throwing away the AG seat in a vain attempt to get a figurehead governorship, but nothing to be ashamed of on the margin.

I honestly don't care what Breitbart thinks.

There was a vote dump from Hinds County now at 49% (CNN), but Rankin is still sitting at 25% of precincts reporting, then there was the vote dump from pub rurals to counter-attack....

Old classic South voting report game I suspect...

Thank you!

MS----Rankin just dumped now 58% in 64-35 R with a + 11k R.

[7,052,770]

In MS state senate news, the one outspokenly liberal white member of the state senate (Debbie Dawkins) got primaried out by some clown in August, and unsurprisingly, that clown lost the seat to a Republican tonight. It is shocking how incompetent the Mississippi Democratic Party is at managing the legislative elections.
