Sen. Thad Cochran's campaign manager, Kirk Sims, has been replaced by his state director Brad Davis, according to a GOP source close to the campaign.
The source, who has first-hand knowledge of the information from speaking to campaign officials, also said the campaign has retained the legal firm Butler Snow for unknown reasons.
Sims, a former chief of staff to Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant, leaves his campaign manager post having won a bitter primary fight against odds but also amid allegations of vote-buying and other improprieties that have engulfed the election's outcome in acrimony.
Noel Fritsch, a spokesman for Cochran's primary challenger Chris McDaniel, who is reviewing ballots for irregularities and has vowed to challenge the election results in court, said the personnel change showed “Cochran's campaign is in a state of wild disarray.”
“Sen. Cochran should return to Mississippi and take control of his campaign by addressing the allegations of criminal misconduct surrounding his campaign’s strategy of pushing Democrats to the polls on June 24,” Fritsch added.

Something is going on here. Sims is one of the people who the pastor said was involved with the vote buying. If he leaves the country, it could circumvent any legal repercussions. STOP HIM!
Maybe Kirk Sims will talk??
Squeeze them. These puss balls will either talk or pop.
lol

Cochran can’t help it if the guy decided to go swimming with concrete swim fins. Could happen to anybody.
Could just be that they would rather have an expert with a Nerf bat for "fighting" the Democrats after having a no-rules knife fighter for the intraparty fight.
yep — panic has set in —
Too bad he hasn’t replaced himself
Thaddeus is going to serve another term alright, just not in the place he was planning.
Thad probably doesn’t even realize he’s running...or that he is a senator.

I think there is major panic. If you follow Chuck C. Johnson on twitter, he has so much info and he’s the one really holding people’s feet to the fire.
I think he needs to replace his seeing eye dog too, so he doesn’t keep wandering around in circles in the Senate Building.
they are acting mighty guilty!
The first one under the bus .... more to follow. Blame anyone except for Cochran and the GOPe.
I guess those PhonyCons who whined “McDaniel shouldn’t fight...he is a sore loser” probably aren’t staying around here much anymore
Cochran folks figuring the gig is up...especially hiring a legal firm...
To prevent duplication and having your thread pulled, please use published titles only. Thanks.
Is Thad lucid enough to know who is his campaign manager. The people of MS must not be as lucid as we would have hoped.
