We expect this to be a heated race on the local level between the two over the proposed oversight takeover attempt by the legislature, the double dipping ban and the handling of the Bishop State Community College situation. McKinney just lost a recent special election to fill a vacant Senate Seat 32 left open by Bradley Byrne of Montrose in 2007, in that race McKinney was back by the Gov. Riley but it didn’t pull any weight. We will watch to see if this race turns into a tossup.
