Travis Childers will be tough for Cochran to beat. It will be a horse race. They both support amnesty, abortion, obamacare. Can’t say on gun rights. They both probably would vote for ‘reasonable’ gun control given the right ‘tragedy’.
That would be a feces covered stick in the eye for Karl Rove. Payback for the Cucinelli race should Cochran not receive the McDaniel primary votes, and lose to Childers.
Cochran is old. He doesn’t “support amnesty”. He is pro-life. He voted against and opposes Obamacare.
His black mark on “abortion” is support for some embryonic stem cell research, while he has voted correctly on most every other pro-life issue, earning 0% NARAL but only 75% by NRLC.
On The Issues rates him a hard-core conservative, but he isn’t that hard-core.
He may not be the candidate people wanted, but he’s hardly a poster-boy for the “establishment”. They’ll claim him to pretend they defeated the tea party.
