While the top of the ticket is getting the national attention, a quiet revolution is occurring slightly further down:

But with an unpopular president, a broken economy and an African-American at the top of the Democratic ticket, the prospect is high for Democrats to pick up in November.

Mississippi has not sent a Democrat to the U.S. Senate in 26 years and has voted Republican in eight of the last nine presidential elections.

Stu Rothenberg, of the nonpartisan Rothenberg Political Report — which tracks House and Senate races — says a combination of factors is putting Mississippi in play, but the outcome is dependent on who votes.

“There is all this concern that the African-American vote will be disproportionate, largely changing the nature of the electorate,” Rothenberg said. “Where this race stands is somewhere in between the single digits and even.”

This is one to watch. The Pres will be a total yawn-fest. The only thing holding up calling it is actual vote counts. Also Georgia and Kentucky Senate races, Minnesota and North Carolina.
