When Thad Cochran won election to the Senate in 1978, he became (as his bio touts) the first Republican in a century to win election to statewide office in Mississippi. His tenure very well may end Tuesday night, and looking at how the composition of the state's vote has changed, that should not be a surprise.
Cochran's election came right as the state swung solidly but not as solidly as you might think into Republican territory. Looking at presidential election results over time, you can see when the Democratic majority faltered (at first in 1948, when the Dixiecrats won the state's electoral votes) and then when the Republican predominance kicked in in the late 1970s. (The blip in 1968 is when the state voted for the independent candidacy of George Wallace.)

“What makes you think the liberal republican Senate leadership will allow any conservative legislation to move forward?”
Because if a Conservative put something out there and McConnell tabled it, the republican party would officially be dead that day. And I don’t mean dead like they say about the TEA party.
I mean dead as conservative republicans will have no choice but to break away and form a new party. .
“McDaniel is SOLID!
Yep... yet Mourdock received the same endorsement.”

I’m assuming that you were speedreading and missed this language:
“...the SCF now VERY carefully vets their potential endorsees and then gives them significant training/advice on how to avoid the typical tripwires the Main Stream Media progressives attempt to lay out for them....”
that was in my post. Mourdock was a learning experience for many of us—including the SCF so you should understand that 2014 is not 2012.
RINOs use the word “Mourdock” constantly when they are trying to defend a GOPe candidate against a Tea Party challenger. That tactic by the GOPe and its operatives is losing its effectiveness IMHO.
“No one is pulling the FUD game here....”
******************************************************************
You may choose not to acknowledge the existence of FUD posts here, but I am not blind to them and recognize them CLEARLY when I see them.
You keep hoping that the liberal senate republican leadership will do something conservative.... I'll do what I can to politically destroy them.

You are wrong. Your credibility suffers.
