Gene Taylor and Steve Palazzo have endorsed Thad Cochran. They say no Cochran means no Hurricane Relief for the Gulf Coast.
That's a pretty stupid argument if you ask me. Like Christie quasi-endorsing Obama because of Hurricane relief to NJ. Bush, McCain or Romney would have let NJ rot I'm to suppose? Give me a break.
Well, Taylor "former" democrat now a RINO, thankfully he failed to make a runoff against Palazzo. Palazzo, for his part, endorsed Cochran way back in December.
Meanwhile, Chuck Woolrey endorses McDaniel. I'd take him over Farve and Taylor, 2 democrats. Our course Cochran's strategy and only hope is to win with democrat votes.
Favre endorsed Cochran because Barbour got his murdering brother out of jail. So sick the games being played in this race. I really hope McDaniel pulls through. I cannot stomach the Establishment.
“Favre endorsed Cochran because Barbour got his murdering brother out of jail”
Wow. Well he did pardon Favre’s brother but just to clear his record, long after he’d been released after serving only a couple months for violating his probation. Still doesn’t look good. Doubtlessly Favre’s borther has benefited from no longer having a criminal record.
Survey USA poll, Pompeo 51%, Tiahrt 34%.
So between Brett Far-ve’s pill popping and dong selfies, his bro gets his record expunged for murder? Nice!!!
All the more reason for COCK-ran to be retired and then go hangout at “Old Country Buffet”.
“Meanwhile, Chuck Woolrey endorses McDaniel. I’d take him over Farve and Taylor, 2 democrats.”
I’m glad to see that my early endorsement of McDaniel has proven to be the right decision, with Chuck Woolery’s endorsement providing additional confirmation. But we can’t be 100% sure until we hear from Wink Martindale.
Ha, I didn’t know he was still alive.
Poll of Louisiana 6th by the Glascock group
Convicted Felon Rat Ex-Governor Edwin Edwards apparently still has enough name recognition that he leads the pack with 32%. He is the only name democrat in the race.
Republican Paul Dietzel and RINO State Sen. Dan Claitor are tied with 16%.
Edwards trails both by 14 points for the runoff, I think that’s generous, he has a zero% chance of winning.
There is a third Republican in the race, Garrett Graves, I can’t seem to find if he was included in the poll. It is essential that Dietzel or Graves makes the runoff.
If the RINO Claitor gets the runoff slot, I’d endorse Fast Eddie. At least Edwards isn’t pretending to be a Republican.
I wouldn’t go that far. I wouldn’t have supported Edwards over David Duke either, like the State GOP officially did, F them both. I’d sooner smear dog doo on the ballot and cast that.
While I was leaning towards Lenar Whitney or Trey Thomas, the most important thing is to avoid a run-off between corrupt Democrat former Gov. Edwin Edwards (who is polling in the 30s in the jungle primary and likely will make the run-off due to such a large GOP field) and RINO state Senator Dan Claitor, so, if conservative Republican businessman Paul Dietzel continues to be Claitor the Traitor’s main rival for the second spot, I will switch my support to Dietzel. The LA-06 is an overwhelmingly conservative and Republican CD after 2011 redistricting (in which black precincts in Baton Rouge were added to the New Orleans-based black-majority LA-02), and it deserves nothing less than a conservative congressman. That sure ain’t Claitor the Traitor.
I guess that we should be thankful that Edwards ran and is consolidating the Democrat vote in the jungle primary, since otherwise we could have ended up with a run-off between RINO Claitor the Traitor and a conservative Republican, and Claitor could win the run-off with close to 100% of the Democrat vote and 20-25% of the Republican vote. Conservatives can defeat Claitor the Traitor in the first round (which will be held on Election Day in November) by coalescing around the conservative with the best chance of beating Claitor out for second place, and right now it looks like it’s Dietzel.
We’ll see if Whitney or Thomas post any fund-raising or start showing up in the polls, as of the last report Whitney raised nothing and Thomas less than 9 grand. Either could be an attractive candidate.
Runoffs in Bama and NC tonight.
2 House seats at sake. In Bama-6 I’m for Gary Palmer, who’s up huge in a recent poll. Ironically Chad Mathis, who attacked Palmer and all of his other primary opponents as RINOs has given him a glowing endorsement.
The other seat is NC-6, a hard charging D.A. (Berger) versus a Baptist Minister (Walker).
There are also runoffs for Bama SOS and Auditor.

http://elections.nytimes.com/2014/results/primaries/north-carolina-runoff
Walker called the winner in NC-6.
And wasn’t that Derek Jeter commercial just precious?
Palmer wins big.
The Pompeo/Tihart Race is tightening
Survey USA Mike Pompeo 46%, Todd Tiahrt 39%.
Based on what how Tihart is campaigning, I hope Pompeo wins. Tihart just wants his job back, he shouldn’t have filed.
Meanwhile a long list of RINO traitors endorsed the rat in gubernatorial election.
But some names were falsely added, and others have actually left the GOP

Polls from Hendrix College on Ark Congressional Races
Is CD 4, Tom Cottons open seat, Westerman (R) is comfortably ahead 48%-34%
In CD 3 (safe R and no rat is even running) the Libertarian is polling 20%, the LP record for a House race stands at 31.5%, in 2012 in Kansas 3rd (was no rat in that race).
In CD 2 it’s uncomfortably close, French Hill (R) leads only 44%-43% with 3% for the Liartarian.
In CD 1, Incumbent Rick Crawford (R) leads 47.5%-33%
Curiously, in AR-4, the Democrat, James Lee Witt, has a nearly two-to-one $$ advantage over Westerman ($833k-$488k). That’s the only thing I can see to make it possibly get closer.
AR-2 is troubling. Hill came out of a contested primary and the district itself is the most urban liberal one in the state (after all, it sent the moonbat Vic Snyder). NLR Mayor Pat Hays is no slouch in fundraising, he has nearly $900k to Hill’s $1.3 mil. This will remain the most difficult district in the state for the GOP until they alter the lines in 8 years.
The District 2 race in Arkansas is problematic. It’s obvious that the establishment got their pick. They chose a banker named French Hill. Does he wear a white linen suit and sip mint juleps from his plantation? That name alone and the fact he’s a banker screams Country Club Establishment.
He’ll probably win, if only because of the national climate. If he loses, it will be Tim Griffin’s fault. I think he decided to drop out of running to go for Lt Governor (which is a nothing-burger job) perhaps on the suspicion that Asa Hutchinson might lose the top job, and would then give him a leg up for the office in 2018. It appears Hutchinson, after 3 decades+ of attempting to win statewide, may finally score a win, so Griffin won’t have another opening until 2022.
