but i think this is really important to say this, that espy ran a campaign to suggest the future of mississippi, that the coalition he built suggests that mississippi along with georgia, along with texas, along with florida, that the south is changing. and it s changing in a way that suggests that the country broadly is changing. but let s put it this way, too, willie. 52% of mississippians are poor. 59% of mississippi s children. i didn t say black people. i said 59% of mississippi s children are poor. what we need to do is look at what cindy hyde-smith s policies are with regard to health care, with regard to living wage. we need to understand what she represents. this is the last i think the the last breath of the inheritors of the plantation class that exploited mississippi for generations. i m beginning to see something here. maybe that s me being hopeful, but i think something is happening. don t you think the expectations were a little built up based on the alabama race
