Retired NFL quarterback Brett Favre pitches his support for Sen. Thad Cochran in a new TV ad paid for by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

It's the latest in a string of celebrity endorsements in a hard-fought and often bizarre race...

---snip---

Former GOP presidential candidates Sarah Palin, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul have been to Mississippi to campaign for McDaniel, as have the parents from the reality show ''19 Kids and Counting,'' Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, and their oldest son, Josh Duggar, director of the lobbying arm of the conservative Family Research Council....

Brett Favre - what do expect from a guy who can’t pronounce his own name correctly?

[cherry]

I would vote for Cochran if he wins, but I don’t want him to win.....retire you jerk....hand off to a better more knowledgeble younger man...

[Hoodat]

I would vote for Cochran if he wins

I could not in good conscience vote for someone who is senile.

[willyd]

It is good to see that Brett Favre is pulling hard for someone again.

[Fightin Whitey]

He wants to go long for Cochrane.

I am a Packer fan, but does this mean Thad Cochrane is a diva too?

[Busko]

The mad texter supporting the RINO. Stick with sports if you want to stay good in the public eye.

[dsrtsage]

I’m totally going to vote for thad now because Bret Farve said he was awesome, and Bret can totally run and throw balls and stuff.

[Mygirlsmom]

Brent who??????

[max americana]

I thought he was Brent?

[Mygirlsmom]

Oh yeah...this guy. I forgot!

[Fightin Whitey]

does this mean Thad Cochrane is a diva too?

What with Cochrane "doing all kinds of indecent things with animals" and Favre sending Weiner texts out to the girls..probably have to worry less about divas than deviants, right?

lol

I’ve supported many candidates who have lost in Republican primaries, especially presidential, and have gone on to support the winner. I don’t know if I should this time if Thad were to win, I don’t think he will, this time if my candidate loses it will be to coalition of rinos and democrats.

That’s the same Brett Favre who sent text message pictures of his tiny, little weenie to an unsuspecting NFL Cheerleader. She felt violated by that gesture.

I would vote for Cochran if he wins... _____________________________________________________________
I would too...... when hell freezes over. If Cochran and his Democrat buddies win the Primary, I hope Chris runs as an Independent or the Conservatives in Mississippi do what many Conservatives in Kentucky will be doing in November; vote for the Democrat.

Uh.... I don’t think so. I saw the pics of his “little” guy that he texted to that NFL Cheerleader. He won’t be going “long” for anyone.
