Cook Report Moves MS Senator Race to “Toss-up”
The non-partisan Cook Political Report has taken a look at the latest polls in the Musgrove-Wicker race for Trent Lott's old seat and have decided to call it a "Toss-Up," moving from its previous "Likely Republican" designation. Yowza. From the blurb:
As crazy as it sounds, a new poll does indeed show that appointed GOP Sen. Roger Wicker will have a fight on his hands in his bid to complete the remainder of former Sen. Trent Lott’s term.

COMMENTS
From Charlie Cook's National Journal column comes this tidbit:
The GOP's three consecutive special-election losses in heavily Republican districts have been enough to terrify Republican lawmakers on the House side of the Capitol. The fact that eight GOP Senate incumbents are in danger while only one Democratic senator is in any jeopardy, and that former Mississippi Gov. Ronnie Musgrove, a Democrat, has run 8 points ahead of appointed Republican Sen. Roger Wicker in back-to-back polls, should be enough to scare those Republican lawmakers on the Senate side as well.
