Not in MS, but I sure would be tempted to cross over in November and vote for Childers as an anti-GOP-e protest vote. Or, if I were feeling charitable I might just sit out that race.

Good luck Haley and Karl.

The establishment has brought DISASTER upon our chances for 2014. If they want ANY hope of winning, Reince Pukus better call for Cochran to step down now

Remember we must NEVER AGAIN reward the type of misbehavior and corruption the RINO GOPe showed in Mississippi. Support and/or vote for Childers in the general election in November. Send the GOPe a message they’ll understand and not forget anytime soon.

Awaiting the imminent arrival of the RINO GOPe defenders.

REMEMBER MISSISSIPPI!!

ELECTION RULE OF THUMB:

Candidates don’t move on to the General Election until after the Primary has been finalized.

Replace rinos with democrats. Then replace democrats with conservatives. That’s the only way it will happen.

The establishment has brought DISASTER upon our chances for 2014.

I have been thinking the same thing this week.

2014 should be slam dunk for the GOP, but their incessant and self destructive war on the Tea Party, refudsing to stand up to Obama and Harry Reid, the potential loss in KY and now MS of Senate seats. signals to me that the GOP will at best be fighting a holding action when the dust clears on Election Day.

We should be mopping up the Dems right and left, but leave to the GOP-e to screw up a sure thing.Like they did in 2012.

We saved their rear ends in 2010, but now, WE'RE the problem.

Does anyone anywhere have any hope the GOP will field a candidate who will win against Cankles or Fauxahontas in 2016? After the smoke clears on Election day, whatever the results, it is time to tell the GOP-e to go to hell and start o new political party.

We'll have nothing to lose at that point.

Childers is running on a personal record of receiving an A+ rating from the NRA, awards from pro-life organization and for voting against Obamacare.

Cochran is running on a personal record of voting fraud and accusations that the tea party is a bunch of backwoods racists.

That is not the way they will spin.

They will say the seat was lost because of the Tea party, and double down on attacks.

They will be correct. They will lose because the Tea Party will not be voting for RINOs anymore, and the Republican Party can't win without the conservative base.

So it will be the Tea Party's "fault." So be it. Whatever. No more RINOs in office, period.

“The best news for Cochran is 42 percent of those polled are undecided.”

No, this is not good news for Cochran.

I have never voted Democrat but Childers would get my vote.

Unless there are consequences for bad behavior RINOs will keep doing this.

I’m lodging protest votes in Kansas. I was thinking of not voting for Roberts and Lynn Jenkins because of debt ceiling, continuing resolution, and Ryan Budget votes, and for doing nothing at all to stop 0. Now I definitely will not vote for them. Ever since they failed to defund 0care, or even try, I’ve known they won’t win in November. People are only looking at how damaged the Rats are, but Rat voters are too stupid to know how damaged the Rats are. The GOP base is highly motivated to NOT vote for the Ol Boy Network.

That would be ideal, but I think it’ll be: replace RINOs with democrats then the civil war will start.

Total coincidence that the D vote pretty much synchs up with the black population percentage?

Bogus poll, There is no way 42% of the voters were undecided. That never happens in a poll. Also polling is biased as the population of Mississippi is 37% black. Claiming only 2% of the results show a flawed total.

Yep about 37% in some demographic info I was looking at.

One thing people are discounting is the number of voters increases substantially
from the primary to the general. About 370,000 in the runoff however, both the past
generals had over 700,000 GOP voters and over 1.2 million total voters. I don't
know where those other voters come from or what sways how they'll vote but they
don't vote in the primary. Those voters will determine the outcome, imo.
