Anybody think MS re-elects Smith?

To me, that would be the most shocking loss for the Republicans last night.
4% left to count, Colom up 65 votes.
Mostly provisional ballots.

she's another terrible candidate. another feather in the cap of the feckless republican party. this forum still doesn't understand the gravity of the situation of their grand ol party circa 2026 when Mississippi is either sitting out or actively voting for an open marxist over that boomer hag. out with the old, in with the new right. colom signs were all over the state. smith thought she was owed a vote because of a letter by her name. everyone knew he had a better chance than not of winning.
nobody is fired up to vote for that woman. this goes much deeper than Trump. it's the party as a whole.

Mississippi Republicans have become a lazy insiders club. They have actively resisted fresh based populist conservatives for years. Smith was installed by the previous governor when our elderly RINO republican senator retired mid term.
We need someone like Chris McDaniels to run again to inject new energy and true conservative ideas into the Mississippi Republican Party.

The Republican Party is actively purging the few actual Conservatives who remain from the party (and then wondering why they got their asses beat like a fricking drum).
McDaniels would not be welcome and the Trump Cult Republican Party and their sycophants on this board will actively oppose him and call for violence against him, as they have with other Conservative (real ones) candidates.
Collum is preferable, to them, over actual Conservatives.

It was a Phil Bryant special. Typical for him. Look at how many of his department heads have gotten in trouble. And she was also appointed because his consultants had a vested interest in getting campaign contracts.

Smith might be one of the worst candidates in the country this cycle. Hard to believe she was an incumbent. The hayseed Phil Bryant owns this.

Tate Reeves would also be a good Senate candidate IMO. I’m not sure what his plans are after next year. But he’s been overall a good Governor for Mississippi the last seven years.

No she is done.
Amen to that post. She is dumb as a fricking brick, and everyone knows it. She didn’t campaign hard because she’s too stupid to be let out of the fricking house. ( I bet we know each other btw)
All that said, I definitely didn’t see this coming. I’ve heard from some people that her vote against releasing the Epstein files was a major issue and pissed off a lot of traditional Republicans. She also did absolutely nothing to help the farmers in the Delta who are getting killed by the tariffs, because she’s too fricking stupid to do anything except what she’s told, like a little fricking puppy dog. To me, she is the most embarrassing senator in the history of the South. I know for a fact that Roger Wicker is embarrassed by her.
The great irony in all this is that she put a hold on Biden’s nomination of Colom to a federal judgeship over some bullshite about his position on transgender rights, and now that decision is coming back to bite her right on the arse.
If I were still involved in Mississippi politics—and weren’t still pissed off over Jim Kitchens’ defeat—I would have tried to get a Haley “whiskey conference” together to resolve that. (I’ve done it before.)
I’m hearing there are more than 26,000 affidavit ballots, mostly from areas or precincts where Colom won big, like Hinds County. That number may be closer to 40,000. There are also reports that the state paid an outside company to run an algorithm that moved roughly 230,000 voters to inactive status. If those reports are accurate, that is seriously fricked up, and we need to know how many eligible voters were affected. I am hearing a lot.
The affidavit ballots are concentrated in heavily Democratic areas, so you can bet your sweet arse they’re going to break heavily toward Colom. My guess would be three or four to one, if not more.
If those numbers hold up, she’s done, and Colom will be the next senator from Mississippi.
If he’s smart, he’ll work with Roger, learn, do a good job, and stay out of the national partisan stupidity. Mississippi has a long history of Democratic Senators doing a great job for the state.
I don’t know him really well, but I know Will very well. (His father) Will is good guy and definately not a libtard.

Being above average political knowledge in Mississippi, I can tell you my observations from my gated community in Madison.
1. CHS is a horrible candidate. She's unlikable and people who pay attention knows that she has done nothing in 8 years (2 years appointed + 6 year term) for the state. She might be the dumbest Senator in DC. I had to hold my nose to vote for her. I know many who just didn't vote. Plus, a lot of bad down ballot candidates just made more people stay home. Personally, I was embarrassed at the quality of people I voted for yesterday.
2. The "pick another protein" comment and the aftermath. That was dumb, CHS. She was the state secretary of agriculture so she could have answered that much better. The comment and the ensuing Colom ad (may have been the best ad of the whole 2026 cycle nationall) got some attention.
3. The affordability crisis is real. Ive heard of more people taking on second jobs in the last few months than ever. My retired neighbor went back to work. Its not just gas. Its the grocery store, its utility bills, its everything. And in a poorer state, that hits harder and motivated some to vote for change.
4. If CHS pulls this out, Colom is not going away. He will be a viable Democrat candidate for governor in 2027. The GOP race is crowded, but Colom is sharp, well liked and articulate. He will be a viable opponent for whoever comes out of the GOP debacle. And if its Lynn Fitch, I might vote for him.

Think about this . . .
It takes a really weak Republican vs a likeable Dem in a mid-term with a soured Trump association to possibly and barely win in MS.

They may not run him for Governor.
Watson would be a more beatable target. Of course, the Senators could change the rules to strip him of power to appoint committees.

Interesting. You are more in tune with MS politics than just about anyone. I'm an informed voter, but I agree Watson is a more beatable target now that you say it.

I don’t think the Democratic Party selected him with plans on him becoming the next Sonny Montgomery.

Interesting.
Just checked Madison County totals. Colom won by a little more than 300 votes. 22,712 to 22,364.
Now let's look at the Congressional race totals for Madison County.
R (Guest and Eller): 24,140.
D (Thompson and some dude): 20,822.
So the Republican congressional candidates outperformed CHS by 1,776.
So if CHS just matches Guest and Eller, she probably wins today.

Trotting out these old farts is why Rs lost. "pick another protein" should've been her and others raising hell about breaking up the beef monopoly, but they donate too much.

Colom should switch parties in a year or so

Guest has the Madison county connection and I’m guessing even a few Madison county democrats don’t like Bennie by now.
