Mississippi VP Rankings

Mississippi Democrats
Ronnie Musgrove: Former Gov, Ranking: 4, is running for senate instead.
Travis Childers: Rep MS-1, Ranking: 2, Elected less than two months ago.
Bernnie Thompson: Rep MS-2, Ranking:3, An all African American ticket is unlikely.
Gene Taylor: Rep MS-4, Ranking: 4, Probably too conservative to make the Democratic ticket.

Mississippi Republicans
Haley Barbour: Gov, Ranking 7, Would end what little danger McCain is in in the deep south, but ethics problems could hurt him.
Thad Cochran: Sen, Ranking 4, A solid pick, but would highlight age issue.
Roger Wicker: Sen, Ranking 4, Republicans need him to hold his senate seat.
Trent Lott: Former Sen, Ranking: 3, Has about as much of a chance as Strom Thurmond.
Chip Pickering: Rep MS-3, Ranking: 4, Appearance in Borat movie could embarrass campaign.
