BS. Cochran and the rats in our state party should run an ethical campaign. The purpose in sticking Cochran in there for the term is to let the party select their own replacement later. It’s a political weekend at Bernie’s until Thad expires. Mcdainiels won over republicans and the party engineered inner city democrats to change the outcome. Likely with votes that shouldn’t have been allowed.

McDaniel couldn’t file until he had the facts. The ptb stalled him getting the facts.

Did he actually miss the deadline? or was this a Kafka-esque delay.

You have to file within 20 days BUT you have to exhaust all other remedies first. it took more that 20 days to exhaust all remedies thus you can file any objection.

Why didn’t his attorneys know about this ruling?

His attorney ended up being one of the crossover votes.

Probably an illegal one.

What a shocking surprise that he torpedoed the appeal for McD.

The whole missed the deadline canard seems very fishy as it is very doubtful that a leader as astute as Chris McDaniel would overlook such a simply condition of the state law.

Maybe it was a calculated tactical move for some reason known only to the candidate and his legal team.

I'm serious.

So Niky, you feel voter fraud is ok, then I presume you can deal with it when the rats win in perpetuity because of fraud?

Fraud is fraud, no matter by whom.

Sure, but they had to start at state level.

This ruling predates the Voter and Civil Rights acts of the sixties,, but this is Mississippi. ;-)

Cochran can’t run forever.

************

My guess is this is Cochran’s last race and in fact will step down sometime
during the next 6 yr term and the Gov. will appoint a replacement.

There is no way I’d vote for Cochran if I lived in MS.

I’d say that McDaniels should go the write-in campaign route.

*************

Mar. 1, 2014 was the filing deadline for any candidate.

Well we did learn a bit more about the Barboure (sp) family.

“Sorry, folks this guy is a complete idiot. He should have conceded gracefully and shown some class. Everyone, would have considered him the better man. Cochran can’t run forever. Instead he acts like a cry baby.”

If this were a typical, hard-fought, close campaign I would agree.

But Cochran won only by the most devious methods possible. You can’t just let that go and therefore encourage it to occur again. McDaniel deserves kudos for calling the Barbour/Cochran/McConnell and the other establishment jerks on this. Only by shining light on these cockroaches can we ever expect change.

Wasn't it the GOP itself demanding McDaniel take up matters with them first? After it rejected McDaniel's claim, then McDaniel filed lawsuit, “conveniently” missing the deadline. How ironic.////not

It wasn't the Mississippi GOP that demanded he raise it with them first, it's a state law that any primary challenges must first go to the party and only then to court.

Sounds like a lot of Tea Partiers in Mississippi will be going fishing on Election Day.

But this should be a federal issue should it not!

Deadlines for challenging elections (even for federal offices) are governed by state law.
