There has been some back and forth recently in the Sun Herald about the nature of the U.S. Senate primary in Mississippi. Wyatt Emmerich's recent column looked at the race dispassionately -- he did not endorse either candidate -- prescribing how he sees each candidate's view for Mississippi, ultimately judging the race to be one between practicality and ideology. While practicality has won the day in his experience, he noted we may be nearing a tipping point.
Brian Perry's response to Wyatt Emmerich's column asserted that with Thad Cochran, Mississippi can avail itself of a "both/and candidate," meaning someone who is both ideologically pure and politically practical.
I respectfully disagree.
The permanent political class, some of whom have spent more than 40 years in Washington, D.C., have stood quietly by and allowed our nation to accumulate massive debt to the tune of $17 trillion and counting.
Wyatt Emmerich's view that we might have approached a "tipping point" resonates with me, and it resonates with Mississippians all over this great state. I know this because they tell me they feel the same way. The United States is at a tipping point. The current state of affairs that the status quo, go-along to get-along permanent political class has left us is simply not acceptable.

tHAd enough\Mississippi ping
Thanks WKB!
Indeed!
We have THAD enough of Cochran and his corruption and I might add, his corrupt buddies supporting him like Haley Barbour and his gang of D.C. thugs.
Can you tell us what is the “pulse” of this race from the perspective of the folks in Mississippi? Is it looking good for Chris?
