Any Kentucky or Mississippi governor's race predictions?

Republicans hold both seats now. Do we have a chance in Mississippi? I know Kentucky is very close.

It makes it harder for Democrats to win. Jim Hood (the Democratic candidate) has been the Attorney General since 2004 and has never lost a statewide election, so there is hope.

Although Hood has been polling well, within a few points of his opponent, I fear he will come up short.

even if the Democrat won the vote by 5 or 6 percent in Mississippi the republican would still probably win the election the way their system works.
