Nov 13, 2011: Daily Kos: Republican MS State Senate
SD-08 Russell Jolly (D-McCondy)
The 8th is the second white Democrat held district turned into an AA majority district. It is a conglomeration of the black areas of the old 7th, 8th, and 16th districts. Sen. Jolly probably will not survive a primary against a black Democrat. However, the seat is Safe D at 67% Obama.
