One interesting thing that came out of the recent press conference, but didn’t seem to receive much attention, was where they said that it’s possible that the fraud in the original Jun 3rd primary kept McDaniel from winning outright.
I’m assuming that would have to be in the absentee ballot count somehow, since they didn’t have the issue of ineligible Dems voting in that one.
I agree with you that McDaniel should continue to press his case, as long as he’s convinced he has one.
I’m also not surprised to see the high support for Cochran from blacks, given that they’ve just been deluged with ads and encouragement to vote for him. I doubt they’ll be getting that same advice for the general election though.
And finally, what do you want to bet that the farm animals that Cochran admitted to playing with get upgraded from chickens to goats, cows and horses once he’s running against Childers.
What’s the scoop on the Reform Party candidate? Is he a viable option?
“What’s the scoop on the Reform Party candidate? Is he a viable option?”
I would say he or his party is not a viable option, I can’t think of his name, he has run on the reform ticket before I don’t believe he has hit the 4% the article is showing him with and would doubt he will do it this year. I expect a concerted effort for a “write in” which in reality would be no more than a protest, I will participate, but this effort will probably capture protest votes that would have gone to the reform party. Of course this is only an opinion.
