On the other hand, they polled few people with incomes above $100k. So we're looking at Mississippi from suburban and rural eyes. Our capital city is a highly diverse urban area, and none of my friends were approached by pollsters, saw pollsters, etc. Hinds county went 77% for Obama. It's all about the narrative.

I will repeat my mantra from this weekends discussion - Obama is fighting a proxy campaign against the GOP. If he wins the primary then he will have already defeated the worst the GOP has to throw at him. Take that to the bank. Alan is right, Mississippi is open.

It gets a little tricky keeping track. Hmmm…. I thought Mississippi had a closed contest… Maybe I’m wrong. It gets a little tricky keeping track.

That can explain the low percentage of Hillary voters saying that they would vote for Obama.
