Mississippi votes

Mississippi, and its 40 Democratic delegates, are at stake today in an election in which Sen Barack Obama is favored.
The question being asked by many is whether the turnout among Democrats will continue to set records or will the increasingly negative tone keep voters away from the polls.
Both campaigns have run hard in the state, the last election for six weeks before Pennsylvania's primary election on April 22. Unless, that is, some quick resolution is made on whether to have a revote in Florida and Michigan.
So far, on the cable news networks, however, the Mississippi balloting is taking a back seat to the sex scandal involving New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer.
