that reminded me of trent lott 12 years ago actually when the quote that doomed his career as majority was, he said had we voted for strom thurman we would not be having all these problems talk iing about mississippi again and the problems talking about black voters participation. the other point i thought was interesting, there's been a lot of discussion about this idea of voter suppression and what is voter suppression. what i thought was interesting and something that both republicans and democrats should keep in mind was this was actually the first primary that is run in mississippi with voter i.d. mandated. and i think it's interesting that in its run-off you have this historic moment of african-americans participating in the republican primary and they've got voter i.d. so on the one hand republicans can't complain, oh, they're illegal voters because they have the i.d. but democrats have to put out voter i.d. does not the always equal voter suppression. you've laid a lot on the table. i want to dig into a couple. one of the points you made, i went back and looked at it empiricall
