These old southern pols would have been Democrats in the ‘50s, but can’t win unless they run as Republicans now. Based on his RINO record, Cochran won’t be missed.

While reading this I am listening with one ear to Ann Coulter on Bill Bennett's morning in America radio show excoriating the likes of me for advocating a purge of Rinos. To instruct me she employs the example of Mitch McConnell, of all people, as a exemplary minority leader in the Senate and a stalwart conservative who led the resistance to campaign finance reform.

It is easy to fault Coulter for her flirtations with Governor Christie and discounts her observations. It is more difficult to apply the purge of Rinos in areas which are not absolutely clear. Given that that Senator Thad Cochran's ratings it is a no-brainer to primary him. That is not clear, however, in the case of Mike Enzi in Wyoming being challenged by Liz Cheney. I have voiced support for Cheney not out of enthusiastic support for her conservatism but for an assessment that she would be of higher visibility that Enzi who in my judgment has been sleepwalking through history. I've been taken to task by many FReepers, some of whom were from Wyoming and far more knowledgeable than I am about the lay of the land there, who point out that Enzi is sufficiently conservative. I accept that but I still question whether he is adequately leading.

On the whole, my feeling remains, execute a few of these Rinos to encourage the others.
