I doubt it. I expect Republicans to take the Senate with a few seats to give.

I don't expect Cochran to die in his seat because I expect him to resign before the middle of next year.

The only strategy that would make sense for voting FOR Cochran would be to expect him to resign next year, which gives the people of Mississippi another chance to vote in 2015, because his appointed replacement will have to stand for election within 90 days of the vacancy.

McDaniel can then run again for the seat in 2015 in the special election.

not everyone can vote for a cruz or any other decent level conservative. We need real conservatives to have subpoena power, chairmanships, the ability to push real legislation and stop bad legislation.

McCain is a useless doofus who has a long history of hubris, arrogance, and indifference to Americans. he and his rino ilk should be electorally shook up. This is a war with multiple election battles.

We already have had to cause the beltway delusional to be scared and adjust tactics. We have to keep pushing as a solid unit and we get to the point where McCains go from respected senator to place holder for majority to openly despised rino to unelectable.

Ahh.. but our opinions DO matter.

People read these sites and the opinions of others help shape the how others think about things.

But you know that dont you... Sorry bro. your guy F’ed up in an UNFORGIVABLE way. The GOPe could have realized that and given us his political head and kept the seat for the GOP. That didnt happen.

Now... F.U. AND the GOPe. NO peace until Thad and Mitch are history.

Nobody said there were any “Conservative” Democrats in the Senate today. I said there are still a few in the south, but, they’re a dying breed. Why don’t you read the entire comment before you shoot off your mouth, pencil prick.

I once again, refer you to my Post #61. Anyone who would try to refute that would have to have the IQ of a can of Spam. If you think that “Boss Hog” Barbour would let Chris McDaniel take the Senate seat that one of his nephews was holding after all that he went through to get him in that seat, you really are naive.

Let me remind you that in the not-too-distant past, the GOP had the White House, the Senate and the House. What changed? Not a damn thing. We’re still killing little babies in the womb, marrying faggots, being over-run with Illegals from the South of the Border, running up a debt that our great-great grandkids won’t be able to pay-off...... How has voting for every sorry p.o.s. on the ballot, just because they have an “R” behind their name, worked for ya? Do you really think that Mitch “The Bitch” McConnell, John “Cornhole” Cornyn and Lindsey “The Sissy” Graham are going to change anything? And btw, All those mentioned above and every other RINO like Thad Cochran and Pat Roberts absolutely hate Ted Cruz. But you go ahead and kiss their butts, just remember to gargle afterward.

Is anybody running commercials in this race? I know Thud Cockroach is a lock, but living in the Memphis metro area, I wouldn’t know an election is happening if not for Pryor (AR) and Alexander (TN) commercials.

I haven’t heard any Cochran or Childers commercials lately. Don’t know about television (don’t have one), but if every Chris McDaniel supporter held their nose and voted for the Democrat, Cochran COULD be defeated. IF.

We know plenty about Thad Cochran (he’s no conservative), and that’s why we’re desperately trying to get rid of him.

A parting word to all. It was said best by Gen. Robert E. Lee:

“True patriotism sometimes requires of men to act exactly contrary, at one period, to that which it does at another, and the motive which impels them – the desire to do right – is precisely the same . The circumstances which govern their actions change; and their conduct must conform to the new order of things “ * Robert E. Lee *

This, more than adequately, expresses where those of us who cannot support the likes of Thad Cochran, fit-in, in this situation.

NEVER FORGET MISSISSIPPI! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER!

Feel free to have an opinion somewhere else. DU’ers have opinions but we DONT allow them here.

Your A GOPe shill... Essentially you support the “progressive” take over of the GOP.

Do you work for Jim Robinson? Are you a part owner of FR?

Your should be you're.

And you're a pompous ass that values your opinion much higher than it deserves to be.

As my Australian friends say, "Piss off, mate". This dialogue is over.

And you will rejoice in harry reid being the leader of the senate.

I have no use for than cochran, haley barbour, mitch mcdaniel, scott brown, linda graham, john cornyn or a more extensive list of rinos, BUT, they are 100% better than harry reid and the demonRATs running the senate.

If you can't agree with that, try the blue pill.

Why is a mcdaniel write in vote a wasted one?

I can’t find the statute that says it won’t be counted.

GOPe should have forced him out rather than support his vote fraud team up with the democrats!

We wouldn’t even be talking about voting for a socialist democrat to get rid of a socialist republican.

We NEED a republican party FREE of socialist bomb throwers and saboteurs so that we can turn the GOP into a REAL weapon against the socialists. So that means, if the GOPe wants to cheat in a primary... they get to lose in the general.

DrewsMum, it’s a wasted vote because you can write Chris in, but it won’t count. He can’t win, even if he had a majority write him in, because he’s not a legal write-in candidate. See this column for a brief explanation:
