Look. I am upset by this result as much as anyone. However, it’s an idiotic open Primary. There is nothing to contest. The nitwits in the GOP let this happen. They could have set up a closed Primary system but didn’t.
Further, the sore loser law probably even prevents a write in. Now I’d write him in in a heartbeat if I could vote in MS. But, sadly, we were gamed by the GOPe. It’s old political “dirty tricks” but that doesn’t make them illegal. I’m open to any facts that say that it was, but I don’t see any. What I see is a bunch of Libtard blacks saving a RINOs a**.
The only legal argument is to check to see if 5000 of those voted in the primary a few weeks ago. If not, this is a matter of principles and taking a stand against a corrupt party...not a legal matter. Accepting the results according to election law is just one aspect. Accepting a candidate and assisting reelection using these tactics is another. The party needs to know they crossed a line and will not be rewarded. Even if it means losing a seat. Essentially, it’s lost anyway.
The nitwits in the GOP didn't just "let this happen," they enticed Democrats to vote "illegally" so the establishment GOP guy would win the primary.
........ it’s an idiotic open Primary.
The GOPe will fight to keep it that way. How do you think republicans keep getting clowns like thad and Lindsey? OPEN PRIMARIES.
Open primaries help McCain win the nomination.
No...write in is not going to work.....it will elect the Democrat!!! Trick is to get Cochran out of the race. The Democrat Senate candidate is actually more conservative then Thad Cochran. I have heard the Democrat is toying with switching parties or running as an independent, conservative, who, when he wins, he will caucus with the new Republican Majority in the Senate. Methinks that’s the way to go!!! Folks in Ole Miss....there is more then one way to skin a cat!! The newly minted Democrat switching partie would gain votes from Republicans, Consrvatives, Indpendents, Democrats, Blue Dog Democrats and African-Americans who would have no where else to go!!!
Also.....in the meantime....Chris McDaniel should stay cool and demand that every Democrat, African-American vote be checked for legally voting. I believe that a good number of the Democrat 35,000 votes that went for Cochran are illgelly cast votes!!! If our POTUS Obama is the supreme lie teller in the world, what do you think his low life following in MS are? McDaniel...check all them Democrat ballots to sure they were legally cast!!!
But....the real culprit here is the Republican Establishment nationally and in Mississippi. The MS Senate & House should have amended the state election law so that only Republicans can vote in Republican primaries and vice versa for Democrats. If this had been done, McDaniel would have politcally slaughtered Cochran!!! Correct it...right now!!!
Changing the structure of a primary election is done by passing revisions to state laws, so I'm not surprised to see no movement towards closed primaries. That is one hill that the democrats will definitely die on, if necessary.

EXCEPT, Dems who voted Dem in the primary are not allowed to vote in the Republican run-off.
They could make up the difference.
Run a Third Party Challenge—and let the Democrat win—Thad Needs to know that making a deal with the Devil isn’t the answer. The revenge of the Tea Party must be swift and terrible.
