Who will win the 2008 Mississippi Senate special election race to replace Trent Lott?

Settled as Roger Wicker (R)

In the face of an economy in crisis and a deeply unpopular president, some analysts believe the situation is ripe to give Democrats a shot at a 60-seat filibuster-proof majority in the Senate in November.

In this special election to fill the remaining four years of the retired Trent Lott's Senate term, Republican Roger Wicker and Democrat Ronnie Musgrove are in for what should be a far more competitive race than initially expected.

The polling has been tight throughout and currently there is "no clear favorite"
