I hope you are right about blowback.
And I am also hoping that since this is politics and not physics, the blowback will be more than equal.
I will really like to see McDaniel run as a write-in candidate. At least it would give the TEA party folks something to do on election day, rather than sit home.
Sit at home? If McDaniel does not run as a write in candidate,
I may volunteer to drive Childers buses to get RAT voters to the polls.
