I agree. If the rats send a lot of money into MS for Childers, they are chasing fool’s gold and hemmoraging more resources from hagan, Pryor, landrieu and many others.
You are right. It would be absolutely stupid. Almost as bad as them trying to contest the Governor’s race in Texas running a wided eyed liberal. They have already pulled out of that and the effort to turn Texas blue is failing so horribly that it virtually has made no headway at all. They already have a horrible bloody hill to climb this Nov and they could easily lose Hagan, Pryor, and Landrieu. Mississippi is like throwing good money after bad but if they want to do it I’ll enjoy watching them.
Nothing finer than the smell of RINO flopsweat in the morning.....cept it's night....

Going to disagree with you there. His wife is not capable of leaving the nursing home. They are caring for her, and I don't think that she is "rotting" in the nursing home. I think we need to give him some leeway on this issue.
MS has open primaries, and Democrats took advantage of that to try to throw the GOP nomination to Cochran. Black Democrats overtly campaigned for Cochran, even running ads in black newspapers. http://m.chron.com/news/politics/article/Some-black-Miss-Dems-supported-GOP-s-Cochran-5528545.php If you look at the voting results for black-majority counties in the Delta, it’s clear that quite a few black Democrats voted in the GOP primary, overwhelmingly for Cochran (in particular, check out results from Leflore County; and Jackson’s Hinds County keeps shedding white population, so Cochran’s vote margin can only be explained if black Democrats crossed over). It is clear that Cochran kept McDaniel under 50% thanks to the GOTV effort from black Democrats.
And BTW, Cochran also did surprisingly well in overwhelmingly white, very culturally conservative NE MS, which at the state level is the last bastion of Yellow Dog Democrats in the state (and where a higher percentage of whites vote Democrat for prsident than anywhere else in the state). So I believe that Cochran got quite a few votes from white Democrats as well.
How can you not be disappointed, it was so close and goes to a runoff because of some scrub third candidate and rat crossover as Auh2 points out. We should have gotten the kill shot on Tuesday night.
Sports analogy, you don’t wanna go to overtime when you can win in regulation.
Still the runoff should favor McDaniel, rat crossover should be less of problem there I hope and he has the momentum.
I salute Cochran for being a Republican since before age 30 and helping grow the GOP in the state. But it’s time for him to say goodbye.
Indeed! Wonder if ole Thaddeus will get the memo…….
I believe Thad Cochran will go “full Akin” on this thing. He will not pull the pin. He should of course, but won’t....
YOU ARE MY POSTING HERO for the day. Last night I was thinking that I would just love to ask Haley Babour "hey fat man….WHO is Todd Akin now??????" (great minds you know…..)
