Which way will Mississippi go?

Mon, March 10, 2008 - 7:44 PM

In case you were wondering, Mississippi is considered friendly territory for Obama.

The state is favored to go to Obama tomorrow, largely because of the heavy black population in the state. Thirty-seven percent of the population is black.

That would fit the profile of the Southern states that have gone for Obama so far during this contest.

Hillary Clinton took some heat last week from Obama supporters for what they said were her disparaging comments about the state when she compared Iowa and Mississippi’s record on electing women to office.

But Hillary Clinton, former President Bill Clinton and their daughter Chelsea have been campaigning in the state. Who knows how that campaigning will play out when voters hit the polls tomorrow?
