Come election day, Cochran will win easily. The race will be called 1 second after the polls close. McDaniel was the better candidate and the true choice of most Republican primary voters, but the Cochran campaign and its allies pulled every dirty trick in the book and won. It's a lesson learned, movement conservatives will adapt and work to counter this sort of thing in the future.
What is at stake here is the Senate majority. Even if Cochran were a dead skunk who could cast only one single vote for a Republican majority leader instead of Reid, he'd be better than the Democrat.
With no filibuster to stop Obama nominees, he has 2 more years after 2014 to stack the 3rd branch of government (Judiciary) with liberal ideologues. Cochran will help the Republicans slow walk and block as many as possible simply by casting that one vote for a GOP Senate, the Democrat (Childers) will vote to keep Reid in power.
Politics is filthy and dirty and people should not put their faith in ANY politician. Even the ones we like best will do just about anything to further their career and power. It is not a shock that a 30+ year veteran in the pocket of the Mississippi Republican establishment would call in every chit to stay in power. Getting a Republican Senate is just too important as it will grind Obama's nominating powers to a crawl, most conservatives/Republicans in Mississippi will figure this out very easily.
Listen to that robocall. Put out by a PAC headed by Haley Barbour’s nephew, Henry.
Tell me that sounds like a GOP that’s going to do ANYTHING to slow down Obama...
“Getting a Republican Senate is just too important “
Thanks for your excellent, rational explanation — if only people would listen...
