The GOPe disgusts AND wins. This is not good.
McDaniel should not give up.
PPP is a Team Romney Poll
— the same group that create the vote fraud.
I don’t buy that the Democrats are sticking with Cochran
There is no doubt that Cochran won the runoff via dirty pool and I don’t fault McDaniel for being angry. That being said, open runoffs are the law in Mississippi and contesting the results would be counter productive. As I pointed out to a fellow Freeper a while back and as Ann Coulter pointed out recently, McDaniel will be tainted as a sore loser if he doesn’t let this go. He can push for closed primaries, which wouldn be a good idea, but otherwise he needs to let this go.
Political historians on FR may recall the Alabama Democrat Gubenatorial runoff in 1986. In that runoff, conservative AG Charlie Graddick narrowly edged liberal LG Bill Baxley after appealing to voters who had voted in the Republican primary. Baxley appealed the decision to the state Supreme Court, who overturned the runoff. The state party named Baxley as the nominee, but he was tagged a sore loser and everyone was suprirsed when Guy Hunt won the general election, ruining Baxley’s once-promising career.

Incidentally, Graddick is now a Republican and a state judge.
Did Ann Coulter write this under a pen name?
“Cochran’s at 40%”
That is ‘up big’ for an incumbent?! Name a single incumbent going into the general election with that number. Its PATHETIC!
Vote for the Democrat. It is the only way to make it right. Regardless of the negatives of perhaps having a Democrat Senate, which are numerous, it is more important to reclaim the Republican party from the liberals in control.
...no kiddin'..
Cursed the political machine of the GOP... and still we are advised if we leave the party we’ll never win... I say, tell em all to go to hell, we are forming a third party!
If 58% of Mississippians think Cochran won that despicable primary fair and square, then 58% of Mississippians are dumb as a box of rocks.
If Cochran is only at 40%, he is in serious trouble.

PPP is a Democrat polling organization. Naturally, they would back Cochran.
Can you imagine that senile old goat heading the Appropriations Committee in the next Senate? The Dems know they will have the keys to the vault with that incompetent running the bank.
I said this in an earlier thread and I’ll repeat it:
Forget vote fraud, forget race-baiting ads, forget Cochran’s refusal to debate McDaniel (if in fact he’s still capable of speaking w/out a handler). The Republican primary was so Republicans could choose their representative in the November elections. The operative word here is “Republicans”. After he trailed McDaniel June 3 he begged the state Democrats to save his political butt. God only know what deal he cut to get their support, but get it he did. His democrat allies came to his rescue, and it is to them he now owes much.
Bottom line-our “Republican” candidate was chosen by Democrats with the blessings of the RNC. If it had been Republicans alone making the choice McDaniel would’ve won. Period. The actions of Cochran and the RNC make a mockery of the word “representative”, and I will NOT go along with this blatant theft. As for those who think this is sour grapes just remember, if the poker game is crooked, it doesn’t matter if it’s the only game in town, you get out of it. And that’s just what I’m doing this Fall...
The only way we will have an honest government is to see this matter through and be willing to do it again and again.
Folks....PPP is a liberal, left-wing Democrat pollster that is never right. They rig the early polls...and then two or three days before the general....they come in with an severly amended poll. They are not honest or honorable folks!!! Like Obama....they lie...100% of the time!!!
31% undecided (and presumably as mad as a wet hen) is not good for Thad Cochran. They may not vote for the 'rat, but will they show up to vote for Cochran in November?
