Jeffrey Rupp summed it up very well. He said that Wiseman ran one of the best local campaigns he had seen, at least as far as Starkville politics was concerned. And the ironic thing thing- Cox probably ran the second best one.

Keep in mind that I am using unofficial numbers. Regardless, they are pretty telling.

3221 voters turned out in a runoff, versus 3337 in the May 5th primary. That is 96.5% participation from primary to runoff. (Those numbers will change as everything is certified) I would have guessed 75% at the most if I had placed a bet yesterday.
