| The politics of friends and neighbors still matter in this part of the south. Rep. Travis Childers (D) won a special election in May 2008, which shocked national Republicans but which was predictable by local observers. Childers then won a full term in 2008, with the same message that he knew MS 1 and only cared about this district. He maintained the same profile for 2010, this time demonstrating that his voting record was not in accord with Obama-Pelosi-Reid. He was one of 20 House Democrats to vote twice against health care and against the climate change bill. Republicans nominated a good candidate in Alan Nunnelee, a long time legislator, and Childers was unable to turn the tables on him. | ||

| Freshman Rep. Gregg Harper (R) wins his second term. This is such a reliable Republican district that Obama didn't even get 40% in 2008. | ||

| Rep. Gene Taylor (D) was chosen in a special election in October 1989 and wins his 11th full term. He is the classic Blue Dog, voting with his district and not with his party leadership. His district was hit with hurricanes and the oil spill, both personally affected Taylor who could identify with typical voters. None of this mattered. He lost to Steven Palazzo (R), a state representative. | ||
