Nov 13, 2011: Daily Kos: Republican MS State Senate
SD-47 Tony Smith (R-Picayune)
Despite being in a 51% Obama district, Sen. Smith ran unopposed for an open seat in 2011. Nevertheless, he is the big beneficiary of the newly-drawn 48th. His current district, which snakes from Picayune to Pascagoula was drawn by Democrats to give the best chance of electing another Dem in the southern part of the state. The new 47th loses a lot of those Dem precincts and becomes a 74% McCain district. Safe R.
