Thad Cochran is explicitly trying to get Democrats to put him over the top in the primary: Do you think the next Republican senator in Mississippi should be chosen by Democrats? Thad Cochran’s campaign does. His supporters ran an ad in a weekly newspaper patronized by Democrats touting his support of food stamps. Worse yet, Mississippi’s Democratic Party Chairman Rickey Cole says, "Large sums of cash are being passed around. These guys are old-school 'walking around money' vote buyers.” Do you think the next Republican senator of Mississippi should be determined by pay-offs to Democrat voters to participate in a Republican primary? If Thad Cochran were to win that way, do you think you could trust him the next time there’s a tough vote on Obamacare or gun control or would Thad Cochran sell conservatives out to please the Democrats who got him into office?

The sheer flop sweat desperation engaged in by the gOpE - McConnell, Barbour, Rove and minions (Thad is just a prop) to save this seat for their own selfish purposes is sickening.

I think the next senator from MS should be chosen by anyone eligible to vote in the primary.

Or do you want to deny that right to people. If you do, you should change the law.

Furthermore, the GOPe supports reelection of gop incumbents and the winning of open seats and the defeat of democrats.

DNC supports the reelection of democrat incumbents, the winning of open seats and the defeat of republicans.

Teaparty seems to be only interested in the winning of open seats and the defeat of republicans.

In the senate, for 2010 and 2012 and 2014, The teaparty has made only two decent challenges to democrat incumbents. Those two were Ron Johnson who beat Feingold and Sharon Angle who lost to Harry Reid. The other teaparty challengers were all aimed at open seat or republican incumbents.
