Dems target another Senate seat in Deep South
By Lisa Hagen - 11/23/18 06:09 PM EST

Democrats are aggressively targeting another Senate seat in the Deep South in next Tuesday’s runoff election after scoring a major win in Alabama last year, as embattled Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R) stumbles in deep-red Mississippi.

Hyde-Smith had long been seen as the overwhelming favorite in her race against former Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy (D) in Tuesday's runoff, but the widespread backlash over her "public hanging" comment is forcing Republicans to lock down a race that's starting to tighten.

The gaffe is making Democrats more optimistic about their prospects, despite acknowledging the steep challenges they still face in a state that hasn’t elected a Democratic senator since 1982.

Flipping the seat would give them a second major Senate win in the Deep South after Sen. Doug Jones (D) pulled off a massive upset in a special election in Alabama last year, narrowly defeating Republican Roy Moore who faced multiple sexual misconduct allegations that he denied.

Another weak sister candidate -- won't the Pubbies ever learn?

Run a red-blooded white male. Chances of winning are better that way.
As are the chances of someone who won't "go blue" on us...
