Obama’s boy survived to live another day. I hate to think what the White House is going to do the next three weeks.
Pray and vote!
Why does there have to be a run-off? Does someone have to get over 50% to be declared a winner? If McDaniel got more votes that should be it, shouldn’t it?
(sarc tag)
What puzzles me is why would half of Mississippi's Republican voters vote for a faithless, senile, old fossil, who doesn't even live in the state anymore, over a younger, more dynamic Conservative candidate. Do they actually buy the crap sandwich that the GOP-E is selling them?
Does anybody know who got the 1.6% which went to neither of the front-runners?
I imagine the R establishment will pour money into the effort to keep Thad in office. Maybe there should be an effort here to raise funds for McDaniels.
2 questions...
Does the Mississippi repub party have open primaries?
If “yes” above, who are the dems voting for?
Her come the lost ballot boxes, the demonRATS aren't the only ones that know how to play that sordid game.
This is a loss, a big loss, for Cochrane. He was the big money, insider crony and, despite tossing in the kitchen sink, he couldn’t pull out a win. McDaniel will be the next Senator from MS.
The Tea Party movement is STILL ALIVE and ACTIVE!
A whole lot of vested interests are shaking in their boots at the thought of the man who is their meal ticket and connection to the power base , Thad Cochran, going down for the count.
Notice how all these old geezers in DC cling to their seats in DC until they leave in the stiff, horizontal position. The country club perks must be outstanding. Its way past due that we (their employers) send them away to their retirements already. The Senate especially is only a few steps away from becoming a senior hospice center for the infirmed and mentally disturbed. We TP’ers employ the ‘Out with the old and in with the bold’ method of ‘fundamental transformation’.
Congratulations to all you Mississippians. This is a big accomplishment.
Unless I miss my guess this isn’t over. According to the Clarion-Ledger’s website, 9 precincts have not reported. I wonder why not. And do they have enough McDaniel votes to push him over 50%. Or, seeing that all but two are precincts in the Jackson area, are they trying to conjure up enough Cochran votes to put him over.

| Chris McDaniel | 151,842 | 50% | |
| Thad Cochran (Inc.) | 149,714 | 49% | |
| Thomas Carey | 4,749 | 2% | |
So who are the Carey voters going to gravitate to? McDaniel or Cochran?
Congratulations to the people of Mississipii who have expressed their wishes for more honest, accountable government. Cochran was not the man and not the politician that Mississippi thought he was and many people on this forum and conservative media worked hard to inform the voters.
They have said no to pay for play politics, they have said no to pork for the selected elites, and they have said no to those who claim to be conservative, but who support the left whenever the price is right.
I would think that Cochran has an uphill climb if he is to prevail in the runoff.
Way to go Mississippi! Hopefully Chris McDaniel will win the runoff, if it comes to that.....still a victory and a strong message to the establishment either way!
Actually as it stands, only 1 precinct in the state is left to count.
Mcdaniel is close enough to avoid the run off.
Things are changing by the minute so this post could actually be null by the time it’s posted.
