Spoke to a quite savvy, longtime ex-Republican strategist today who pointed out that while we are all focused on Kentucky and Virginia, we aren't paying enough attention to Mississippi, where the Republican won with fewer votes than his own Lieutenant gov or any other statewider. 
In fact, the Dem guv nominee got fewer votes than ex Ag secretary Mike Espy got running for Senate against Cindy Hyde Smith in 2018. Msg for Dems. choice (hello Kentucky gov and Alabama Sen) and putting resources in matter.
Just as a think, could a state whose population is 1/3 AA be a long term sound investment for a party that relies on black voters overwhelmingly but which in the last 30 years or so has tended to forego major investments in voter registration for the ones who are southern/rural?
