I agree, but it still would be bad for the country if he did, and it would be selfish and childish to not vote for him. Get him next time if he is even alive in 6 years..
No, it will be very bad for the country to vote him in. Ends do not justify means.

Cochran will NOT SERVE OUT HIS TERM if reelected. He will resign in 2015 or early 2016, take his MAXED OUT GOVERNMENT PENSION (serving additional time will not increase it from its current 80% of salary) and then move on to the lucrative lobbyist “positions” that he was promised (for him and his sweetheart who he has on government salary) if he would run for reelection. Then the Barbour Mississippi/K Street mafia will name his replacement-—one of their puppets of course.
By the way, ANY incumbent who is only at 40 or 41% in the polls less than one month before the election is in BIG trouble. My assessment is that the ONLY way to SAFELY keep this Republican seat is for the Mississippi Supreme Court to invalidate the fraudulent primary run-off election.
If Rove etc al succeed with scam in Mississippi, it will encourage them to repeat it in the future. If they get their fingers rapped, they won’t.
If control of the Senate swings on one seat, we might just as well pack it in anyway but I think it won’t.
Further if Cochran DOES get elected, he owes it big time to a constituency which is antithetical to our interests.
