“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!
It’s all very odd now, so many voters undecided and an incumbent Republican winning a big crossover vote but not polling well with voters of his own party and nearly 1/3 of the voters undecided. I don’t think I’ve seen it before. To paraphrase a Chinese proverb, we live in interesting times. I don’t see Travis Childers winning this, but if a lot of Republicans abstain in this race, who knows what’ll happen?
A near-loss for Cochran in the general would be a good shot across the bow for the establishment. It’s assumed by some that if Childers wins, he’ll be a one-term Senator. That’s been said about others before, most notably the late John Tower of Texas, who served for 24 years.

I agree, it’s a pathetic number for an incumbent. Wait until the DemocRAT political ads begin. When folks go into the voting booth in November, the folks who traditionally always vote DemocRAT will still do that and a significant chunk of folks who traditionally vote Republican will still do that BUT FOR THE SENATE RACE where rightfully angry conservatives will hold their noses and vote for Childers to send the GOP a message they need to receive.
GOPe fraud and corruption cannot be allow to succeed.
