Thank you Daily Kos Elections. I got this information from Daily Kos Election.

Did you read my February 25 note about Jim Hood running for Governor of Mississippi?  He has a last minute primary opponent – DA Robert Shuler Smith

Not just any DA. Hood has prosecuted him unsuccessfully a few times – for robbery, for stalking, for conspiracy to hinder a jury.

Not just any DA. An African-American.

Hood’s chance of winning is based on combining, in the general election, a strong African American turnout with independents and moderates who like his having taken on the KuKluxKlan, Google, and others. Shuler Smith’s candidacy will make life tougher for Hood.
