Six-term Republican Sen. Thad Cochran is trying to survive an intense tea party challenge in Mississippi by reaching out to union members and black voters

We know where his true allegiance lies, with the Democrats.
So by inviting Rats and Commies to raid the run-off election to save his fossilized carcass, Cochran actually thinks that Conservatives would lift a finger to help him in November should he somehow win?
I wouldn’t have a problem with him seeking their support but this is obviously just pandering.
The republican challenging Debbie Dingell for John Dingell’s throne is a current UAW member (Terry Bowman) and I would vote for him if I was in that district. He was a driving force behind RTW in Michigan and is more tea party than republican.
I could be wrong, but I believe I read that anyone who voted in the Dem primary could not cross over and vote in the GOP runoff. So Cochran would have to find Dems that either did not vote in their own primary or who already voted in the GOP primary the first time.
"Tea Party candidate hates union members and blacks"
They can't print that the headline though,so they obfuscate;)
If true, it indicates he is a real sleaze.

I'd like to see what Miss Tea Party looks like. Probably a babe.
Oh, so Thud wants them to vote for him in the Primary, then go back to their regular Democrat voting habits in November.
That’s what I read as well. Also, the Dims would have had to be registered to vote in the primary, so if they weren’t registered to vote in the primary, they cannot vote (or not supposed to)in the run-off.
