Mississippians Get Anti-Incumbent Fever
Mississippi is a state with a tradition of almost never voting out incumbents. Change is not a positive word in Mississippi politics, traditionally. But, Katrina altered that in a big way. A record number of incumbents are losing their primary races to challengers as Mississippians have recognized the value and power
of their vote to remove incompetence, ineptitude, and corruption from offices of power.
The Clarion Ledger has the details in their article, Anti-incumbent sentiment throws out some veterans.

I hope it is a trend.
Also, some of Congress' approval ratings are as low as 11%.
One thing is for certain, rewarding corruption and incompetence with re-election will only breed more of it.
