Earlier this month, in a taped interview with a conservative blogger, a Mississippi man named Stevie Fielder accused the campaign of Sen. Thad Cochran of having handed him envelopes of cash intended to lure black voters to the polls. McDaniel backers jumped on the story as evidence of fraud.
We looked at those accusations after they emerged, finding a lot of reason to question the claims. Now, in an interview with the Jackson Clarion-Ledger, Fielder says, among other things, that his convoluted story referred only to a "hypothetical" situation. "What was said and what was recorded on that tape was not meant to show in any way that I took anyone to the polls and voted, nor did Mr. Cochran and them ask me to do that, not (campaign manager) Kirk (Sims) or any of his other people … in the upper echelon (of the campaign)," he told the paper.
In an opinion piece in the Clarion-Ledger on Thursday, conservative commentator Ann Coulter suggested that McDaniel give up the fight, saying that his political future would be better served by being "magnanimous" and conceding. It's clear that McDaniel isn't particularly inclined to do so. But it's also clear that he may not have a choice for much longer.

BS. I heard that guy’s story and it was not hypothetical but a description of what went down. Someone “got to him”.
It’s basically finished. The only thing left that residents of Mississippi can do in the fall is vote Democrat....sending Cochran home. Maybe this was all done up for the right lobbyists to ensure Cochran got defeated, and their guy got the vote...but there’s not much left here.
Ann Colter is not a Conservative.
Please say[post] how these allegations are being reeled back.
Like ask him, "How did he like living"?
When the liberals side with you, you are on the wrong side.
This thing is over and Cochran will be reelected in November.
And the $41,000 in walking around money — where did that all go???
Ping
I think someone pointed out to him he was confessing to a crime and could do jail time. Then he decides he was just joking...
I have a feeling that your correct. On the Brightside, when the immigration operation has run its course, they will be kings without a Kingdom. The wetbacks will see to that.
Keep on whistlin’ past the graveyard....
The Cochran sympathizers are showing up again on this thread.
Obviously, he got the GOP-e to pay their bill.
And as usual, here you are on the front lines of FR beating the drums and carrying the water for the despicable GOP establishment. Well, guess what? I will continue to 100% back Chris McDaniel’s effort to challenge the results of the tainted and fraudulent runoff election until the bitter end and will NOT back your liberal buddy Thug Cockroach should he emerge as the GOP nominee in November as the result of his campaign’s rogue tactics.
So get lost, troll... And while you’re at it, tell your colleagues Karl Rove and Ann Coulter to take a long walk off of a short pier.
Can’t McDaniel run Independent?
