By most accounts, going into tomorrow's Republican primary for U.S. Senate, state Sen. Chris McDaniel of Laurel has a commanding advantage over the incumbent, U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran.
That is, among likely GOP voters.
Over the weekend, Chism Strategies—a Democratic firm that has commissioned several polls since the June 3 primary election that resulted in a runoff—unveiled its latest survey of Republicans that shows McDaniel leading Cochran by eight points. For the first time since Chism began polling, the lead is well outside the 4 percent margin of error.

She may have to block Team Romney for trying to make the same sort of 11th hour Kingmaker entry.

Isn’t MS a semi-closed primary? If you don’t vote in the regular primary, you don’t get to vote in the run-off?
If we could somehow arrange for election day to coincide with welfare “check” disbursement day, there would be no problem.
Exactly. How many low information voters will turn out for a run-off Republican primary election. You may get 10,000

A Republican using Democrats to get past his Republican opponent... Maybe this will be known as the cockroach strategy of Cochran...
I doubt seriously if many, if any, black voters will make a special trip to vote for the old white guy.
We need to investigate large numbers of dead voting... it means ‘the people who don’t show up to vote’ are being voted. The ‘dead vote’ is a small portion of that vote - but it’s the primary indicator of that type of voter fraud.
People are going to go to jail if they’re doing this...
