McDaniels as a protest write-in this fall. Yes!!!!!!!

The word on the street is that democrats are going to be staying home this election. With a strong write in campaign McDaniels could win. At any rate Cochran deserves to lose and lose BIG.

Curious isn’t it, once upon a time, not so very long ago, a republican holding office who would admit to such a thing as molesting animals would be asked by the party leaders, oops not asked but TOLD to resign. Now it seems our party leaders, will move heaven and earth to keep such a pervert in office. Strange times we live in. Why bother voting republican any more if this is what we have come to?

the GOP hurt themselves doing this. They just rebranded themselves as the party of welfare, big govt and Obama.
Libertarians can use this to gain wins if they’re smart enough

Next time the GOP calls and asks for money I’m going to yell one word into the phone “COCHRAN!” loud enough to shake their bones and slam it down hard enough to send the point home. I supported Scott Brown in Massachusetts earlier than most and I worked hard for McCain and even for Romney when they won the primary but its clear there isn’t any room for compromise and that they are clearly intent on not just trying to win Blue states with so called “moderates” but trying to make sure that real Reagan conservatives are shut out even in bright red states like Mississippi. That is simply unacceptable.

McDaniel needs to run a write in campaign like Murkowski in AK and give the establishment a taste of their own medicine. I doubt the legal challenge will have hopes of resolving things soon enough but we can help him mount a the legal challenge.

I haven’t been this mad since the idiots in this country elected BO. This was just plain wrong. If that’s what you have to do to keep your seat, you should retire.

Unfortunately it won’t count if people do write him in.

http://www.tmcnet.com/usubmit/2011/01/16/5247199.htm

According to state law, write-in candidates are permitted only as the legitimate substitute of a candidate who has died, resigned, withdrawn or been removed from the race.

Then the only option is to aid the rat. Sorry, GOP, you’ve driven me to this.

I have been listening to "Talk" all-day. Themes are emerging. People calling the Repub. Senatorial Re-election Committee and one gent it took him a half hour to get through to give them a piece of their mind, people re-registering as independents, and the clarion call: Remember Mississippi!

The E-GOP have no idea how badly they have pissed us off with this, they have FUBAR'd the base and they will not forget this.....

Haley Barbour's real goal is to keep his job: as the pretend opposition to the Democrat candidate. If his guy happens to win somehow, that's even better...But he is perfectly content to be employed in perpetuity as the perpetual king of the LOSERS.

I think that Tree of Liberty needs a little "water".

I’m with you Viennacon. I would not vote for Cochran and would probably vote for the Dem after this.

In other news I hope is not true: http://www.politico.com/story/2014/06/chris-mcdaniel-mississippi-primary-challenge-2014-108309.html
