1. Jim hood has been their AG since 2004.

He has a really good shot at taking the governorship. This is a great time to take the governors race especially ina state like MS for reapportionment

2. It worked for Roy Cooper (D-NC)

Why not Jim Hood.

3. I think so

Although Cooper had something going for him that hood didnt. The candidate has to win a majority of the congressional districts in order to win statewide office. Of cooper was in MS he proba ly wouldnt have won.

4. I did not know that...

How does still go on in 2019? It's beyond anti-democratic (small d). That rule would eliminate most Ds if that were here.

Of course, had the previous governor operated NC like he did Charlotte where I lived, he would still be governor. #HB2, #I-77 tolls, and #CLTairport takeover didn't help his cause. Which were all the things he opposed while the mayor.

5. I forgot MS had that fucked up law
