Cochran knew he was not physically fit for another term in 2014 but was convinced to run anyway at the urging of McConnell, Barbour, et al.
This seat rightfully belongs to McDaniel. I don’t know much about Bryant, but would be surprised if he did the right thing and appointed McDaniel.

My worst fear (and educated presumption) is that the replacement of Cochran is being engineered & orchestrated by K Street & McConnell GOPe using the Barbour Mississippi political organization to handle things locally.
McDaniel SHOULD BE the nominee, but likely won’t be. He (and we) will have to fight for his election in November.
