Good!
Sounds like our kind of guy!
Has anybody else notced that Haley acts like he is running?
There are always coming out on behalf of Cochran, but where is
Cochran?
Why isn’t Cochran campaigning instead of Haley Barbour?
-——Why isnt Cochran campaigning ——
Because he lacks the physical stamina
Our side needs to start a #WhereIsCochran campaign online and maybe some yardsigns and bumper stickers.
It’s a joke that Mississippi would choose to send an invalid back to the Senate.
I hope so!
and, even more importantly, he lacks the mental stamina ...
Haley should know that one senator does not change law! But then again maybe he doesn’t. He has nursed for so long at the public teat that he has lost sight of reality!
I had to read it twice to get that he thought it was bad to cut the Department of Education.. I would take that as a plus, and make me want to clone this guy.. but thats just me.. :)
Barbour is trying to appeal to cross-over Dems.
Cochran is just Barbour's sock puppet. Cochran is more mentally out of it than Frank Lautenberg - and I mean Lautenberg in his present condition. Barbour is the one controlling what Cochran's staff feed him. Barbour is trying to have the power of being a Senator without actually having to put himself before the electorate.
‘Haley the Doosh’.
I used to think quite highly of him but I’ve ‘grown’.
>> Because he lacks the physical stamina...

Regardless of which lack is more important, and I don’t think we can onfidently determine, it’s abundantly clear that Sen. Cochran lacks the “overall” stamina for another 6-year term. In fact, he has barely lifted a finger in the current campaign. I believe his coming defeat will be due more to that factor than to the efforts of self-styled, out-of-state Tea Party groups. A really vigorous campaign — like those run by Linda Graham in SC and by Mitchmac in KY — would probably have buried an unknown novice like Sen. McDaniel.
Because Gov. Barbour surely has been aware of Cochran’s stamina problem all along, his plan seems to have been that Thad would serve a year or two, then resign so Gov. Bryant could appoint either Haley or Haley’s nephew to finish out Cochran’s term. I’ll bet Haley now wishes he had let Thad retire gracefully — at which point Haley himself might even have been the favored candidate in this year’s election!
I have NO idea why education is a federal matter? Taxing people in California to give to North Dakota makes no sense. Taxing ND to give to Florida is goofy. Taxing Florida to give to Oregon is insane.
Education is a local matter.
Education is a Family matter.
(That's what 'pubs used to argue until George 1 came along and expanded the Department of Education)
Cochran isn’t running. Boss Hogg is doing Cochran’s campaigning
for him. Cochran is just a prop for Haley Barbour.
