    But the plural of attorney general is "Attorneys general", the plural possesive would then be "Attorneys' General".

    Or you might have avoided the problem by making the state the possesive:

    "Which state's attorney general do you think will go for MS." (implying one answer)

    or alternatively

    "Which states' attorney general do you think will for for MS."

    This would generate a list of states, rather than peoples names, but for neophytes like me, who don't know or care what the persons' names are, the list of states would be just as good or better.

    Yes it is a quibble, but if we don't help each other to talk correctly, we are helping each other to talk incorrectly.
