“Splitting the white vote two ways almost guarantees a Democrat victory.”

Cochran is a democrat, so what difference does it make?

McDaniel should pursue a write-in campaign. And if the Dem happens to win..so be it.

The GOP-E needs to pay a heavy price for their constant attacks on conservatives. Otherwise, they will never learn.

If RATs can vote in the MS GOP primary, surely McDaniel can run
an an independent.

Cochran is already a democrat. Democrats put him over the top in
MS.

I'm not sure Freepers are paying close attention to the less than spectacular polls that Republican candidates are generating in the 12 “Senate Battleground States.”

We have guaranteed pick up victories in only three states:

South Dakota, Montana, and West Virginia.

Landrieu, the Democrat, is within 3% in Louisiana.

Pryor, the Democrat, holds a small lead in Arkansas.

Hagan, the Democrat is tied in North Carolina.

Nunn, the Democrat, holds a small lead over Kingston, the Republican who is expected to win the primary, in Georgia.

Braley, the Democrat, holds a small lead in Iowa.

And, Mitch McConnell holds just a 1.5% lead in Kentucky.

A year ago, I predicted Republicans would gain 4 Senate seats.

Today, I'm beginning to think we will gain just three.

That’s what could happen when you sh$t on your base with dirty tricks.
Like begging for RAT votes in a GOP primary.

So, if the election is Socialist Vs Socialist, what do we get if we don’t go third party?

Had Cochran lost would you be as anxious for Cochran to invest $300 and get the 1,000 signatures?

Anyone with an “r” after their name who continues to eat the sh*t sandwiches the gopE feeds them is part of the problem.

I’m in Texas and I’ll be staying home. Cornyn will NEVER get my vote. Actually, I’m committed to never vote for any R again. I’ve been yelling third party for 10 years. If it had been started 10 years ago instead of trying to fix the republican party from the inside the republican party would not exist today.

I think it would be funny as hell if the 35% black voters defeated Cochran.

If Cochran won by 10 points even with Democrat voters it would be different.

I’d vote third party in a western state. Certainly consider Dem if it is MS or SC with Lindsey Graham. No-one is going to say Lindsey Graham lost re-election because the GOP alienated Hispanics in SC.

I wouldnt want to give a bump to the Hispanic candidate (Alameel is actually arab but an open borders immigrant-values type candidate) if it is a race in Texas or Arizona.

If Carmona beat Jeff Flake that would have been a huge lie they could have perpetrated about the hispanic vote if the protest votes went to Carmona. If the third party got 20% that would tell a different story.

As it is now. Jeff Flake got elected. He supported amnesty. He is the most hated Senator after McCain. The 20 dog deaths have made him look terrible.

The media will sell BS about how the reason the RINO lost is because of the Hispanic vote when it was mostly white Republican voters who voted third party or voted Dem to punish. They will push this BS regardless but the problem is you want as few Republicans as possible to buy this BS. I’ve seen people post on Mick Mulvaney’s facebook that he is right to pander to Family value, hard working Hispanics with his amnesty push.

A write in campaign CAN win.

Look at the June 3 results here:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-tran/elections/2014-primaries-june3

(Mississippi results are down the page)

Notice the top vote getter that night was McDaniel. The ENTIRE Democrat slate didn’t get HALF the votes of EITHER Republican.

I don’t think Cochran will get DEMOCRAT votes in the general election, do you?

McDaniel could repeat what he did on June 3 and be the next Senator from Mississippi.
