This is the absolute first I've heard of that.
McDaniel appears to me to be one of the BEST conservative challengers (much better than Steve Stockman/Lee Bright/Matt Bevin) exc.
Without evidence I'm calling BS, fearmonging from Cochran's camp. Travis Childers gonna win in Mississippi in 2014? No.
I think that Childers, for one, thinks that he might be able to win by getting the 43% that Democrats can count on in statewide races (the state is 37% black, and its electorate in a midterm will be like 32%-35% black) and add another 7% from sour-grapes Cochran supporters. As a candidate, Childers is quite similar to Indiana’s Donnely, with both pretending to be conservative and being able to win House seats in conservative turf (although Donnely IN-02 was far less conservative than Childers’s MI-01, which is why Donnely survived 2010 and Childres didn’t). That being said, we can’t get blackmailed into supporting a RINO by disloyal so-called Republicans. That’s why we need to redouble our efforts in favor of McDaniel, and challenge all MS Republicans to pledge to support the winner of the primary against the RAT Childers. That means that McDaniel supporters need to make that vow as well, and I’ll be the first to call them morons if they don’t support Cochran (if, God forbid, he wins the primary) over Childers—not only would Childers vote far more liberal than Cochran, he might serve for a long time, while Cochran will be done if not in this primary (as I hope) then at the end of the next term. (But if conservative Republican Bill Marcy—running as a Democrat as a “Plan B” in case Cochran beats McDaniel, somehow wins the Dem primary, then all bets are off and I would support Marcy, knowing that he’d caucus with the Republicans and vote much more conservative than does Cochran.)
