So I did not vote republician for president. Now that might not seem like much of a statement, but in Mississippi when voting republician is sooo "normal" that neither republician nor democrat ever bothers with us.  But look at this (culled from the politico site):

Presidential Elections MS numbers:

2012
Rep 55.5 %      670K
Dem 43.5%      525k
Others .8%      10k

2008
Rep 56.2 %      724K
Dem 43.0%      554k
Others .7%      9k

2004
Rep 59.5 %      684K
Dem 39.7%      458k
Others .7%      6.5k

Which groups are growing? It aint the republicians.  And the Dems are having to share their gains  with "NONE OF THE ABOVE".  Any party that thinks they have a lock on MS 4 years from now is mistaken.
