If I were a Mississippi voter - unless I was 100% sure the Democrats would lose the Senate - I think I’d end up voting Cochran. But damn, I would really hate it.
As for stopping the treachery - I think some of that might be happening organically. Cochran losing would certainly propel that notion however.
The GOP could lose MS and still win control of the Senate. The Democrats in MS are absolutely giddy over this race They are flying extremely stealth under the radar. They are running a Conservative Democrat. (Yes, there are still many of them in the South.) And with a Dem base that is energized, they are wooing the McDaniel supporters like crazy. They feel that with them getting a majority of McDaniel’s voters and many of them staying home or not voting in the Senate Race, that they might have a chance to win a Senate Seat in MS for the first time in ages. Watch closely.....
Dick Lugar of Indiana lost, but who remembers?
