The next Senator from Mississippi, Mike Espy

[Recursion]

I've been a fan of this man since I was a kid in Oktibbeha County, MS.

AL surprised us this year. Let's hope MS can do so too.

1. from your fingertips, to nature's ears!!!

[nycbos]

2. Don't jinx it.

[JanetLovesObama]

3. Praying. I REALLY want

him to win.

[Garrett78]

4. I would be pleasantly shocked.

[bitterross]

5. Why is everyone assuming racism and misogyny are problems for her?

Let's take a look at facts. MS is a very racist, misogynistic state. They still fight to keep the Confederate battle flag on their state flag. They went for Trump by almost 18 points.

What makes people think they don't LIKE her racism and misogyny? All of that may be just what they want.

7. This could be a good reason:

Mississippi Voters Could Make History in Yet Another Race About Race

snip//

“If Republicans want to quit being accused of being racist,” GOP operative Amanda Carpenter said on CNN this past weekend, “they need to stop saying racist things.” But that’s proven to be a particular challenge in the age of Trump, when eager imitators like Ron “Monkey This Up” DeSantis and Hyde-Smith discover that the president is the only one who gets off scot-free with repulsive bigotry.

16. I hope everyone isn't too tired to get out again.

Only if the African Americans rally and vote will she lose.

I also don't think a lot of Southern Republicans really want to stop being accused of being racist. Maybe in public for elections. Not really in private though.

[UniteFightBack]

13. I agree, little miss racist "applegized" and that's good enough for Mississippi voters and they

will vote her in tomorrow no doubt. So she appeals to the outright racist and she applegized for the tsk tsk tskers.

6. I believe Espy is gonna win and yeah even I think my belief is crazy as hell

[Hoyt]

8. It's a long shot, but thought Lucy McBath's chances in Newt Gingrch's old district were longer shot.

She won, as a first time candidate. What a surprise, and wonderful way to wake up the Wednesday after election.

[Recursion]

10. Not to mention Doug Jones, in the neighboring state, also in a special election

I'm convinced the South is the future of the Democratic Party. Hopefully Mississippi can prove me right.

[Hoyt]

11. Hope so too. Hope to never see confederate white winger, Haley Barbour, again or anyone like him.

[spanone]

9. Let It Be.

[MontanaMama]

12. From your lips to the ears of the universe.

For what it’s worth, MS DUers...I’m so rooting for you! I know what it feels like to be a blue dot in a deep red state when the eyes of the nation are on you. It is stressful and exhilarating at the same time. Bring it home, MS!

[sandensea]

14. Knock wood!

You must have lived in Starkville. Great town.

I lived in Oxford for several years (never followed college football, so don't hold that against me).

[Recursion]

19. Near Starkville

But yes.

[Aristus]

15. A distinguished-looking gentleman.

I hope he wins the election. Mississippi could really use some classing-up.

[hay rick]

17. Florida Democrats made calls for his campaign.

Including me. It was my first constructive bit of activism after absorbing and then putting aside the disappointment of a blue wave that mostly avoided the Sunshine state. A win would be a huge boost and a close contest would help sustain our momentum for the defenestration of Public Enemy Number 1.

[littlemissmartypants]

18. Gawd, I hope so. eom

[Az_lefty]

20. I really hope your right.

That trash he’s running against needs to go
