Mississippi, can McDaniel beat Childers?
Thad Cochran: Just another example of the corrupting influence of incumbency and of the permanent political class. Lamar, Miss Lindsey, McLame, Little Mitchie, Boner-the list is endless.
Article V. is the only answer.
76 years old? Let it go. It’s time for fresh blood and new ideas.
“Cochran, by contrast, did not appear to address his supporters.”
No surprise. It was after 10:00 PM.
Relic? He's been in Washington 42 years (and what has he accomplished?)! He's an effing dinosaur who needs to go!
Sick and tired of these long-term incumbents who think they are entitled to lifetime jobs on our dime(s). Cochran can go be a greeter at a casino in Biloxi for all I care (he's probably better suited to that work anyway).
“...Mississippi election law forbids anybody who voted in Tuesday’s Democratic primary from voting in the runoff election of the opposite party...”
Does Mississippi have what it takes to enforce this? If not...it could be trouble.
NR long ago joined the GOPe/Rove wing of the RINO party.
this is pathetic... no one in the GOP should try to boost Cochran or any GOP candidate in a PRIMARY election who has been in office that long... it is sickening... if you cannot support new blood, then at the very least, stay out of it and let the chips fall where they may...
Really? Does he have inside info? Is he knowledgeable about the votes that haven't been counted? Does he believe there are votes remaining to be cast?
Or is he just talking out his ass?
Cochran first ran for the House after serving as AA to a Democrat member.
“insurgent forces, though, have put up a fight in only four major races: in Kentucky, where they tried and failed to unseat Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell; in Idaho, where they attempted unsuccessfully to oust representative Mike Simpson; in Nebraska, where they defeated the establishment-backed candidate, Shane Osborn; and in Mississippi, where McDaniel which a victory now hangs in the balance.”
Patently false. We also have T.W. Shannon in Oklahoma who is likely to beat establishment James Lankford to take Coburn’s seat. We lost in Alabama with Chad Mathis and in North Carolina where Greg Brannon lost. But we have forced a runoff in Georgia with Barry Loudermilk! And also Mia Love is heading to the House from Utah.
So who will the Carey voters go to? One would assume McDaniel since they didn’t vote for Cochran buy it’s hard to tell. Carey didn’t have a website so we don’t know a whole lot about his positions. He runs some sort of prison ministry. He’s against Obamacare - so are both the other candidated. He’s for flat tax, doing away with the IRS and EPS, and a couple of other things that might tend his supporters towards McDaniel. He’s on record as saying he doesn’t plan to vote for either of his opponents assuming they won, so maybe his people will just stay home?

I know...do any true constitutional conservatives actually still subscribe to the National Review? This piece is a perfect example of the GOPe propaganda that they specialize in putting out now—it is filled with lies and misstatements.
Wow, Stuart Stevens is advising Cochran’s campaign? Good luck with that, Thad, lol.
Last nights McDaniel “win”..and he will win come 3 weeks from now has completely shaken the Mississippi Rove/Barbour/Bush entrenched, crony establishment machine...I’m loving every minute of it.
The TEA PARTY IS ALIVE AND THRIVING
Good assessment. And they “conveniently” omit any reference to Joni Ernst (who slaughtered the GOPe candidate Mark Jacobs last night in Iowa).
Yes. Childers is just a spook. He’ll do better than previous Mississippi Dems, but he’s no Joe Donnelly, and this isn’t Indiana. McDaniel can just coast to victory.
