Conservatives Urge McDaniel To Run as Write-In Candidate in the Fall

Pointing out that post-election challenges usual fail, one Tea Party leader, Judson Phillips is calling for Thad Cochran's primary challenger, State Senator Chris McDaniel to run as a write-in candidate in the Fall.

“The Republican Establishment thinks they have fought back an insurrection from conservatives and now we will meekly fall in line in November and support a RINO who needs Democrats to win? Never,” said Mr. Phillips, who also writes a column in The Washington Times. “If Chris McDaniel loses his challenges to this election, then he needs to be a write-in candidate this fall.”

It's increasingly clear that Democrat votes, particularly from Mississipi's African American community helped Thad Cochran eek out a win over McDaniel in the GOP primary. Those votes would most likely go to a Democrat in the Fall, meaning McDaniel may have a good chance at winning in a three man race.

Great way to keep Harry Reid as Majority Leader.

Alert! The GOPe flying monkeys are inbound!

[RginTN]

Since Democrat now own Cockroach why not?! Its doubtful Cochroach will win after accusing most of MS Republicans of racism.

[Reagan79]

Childers (Dem nominee) is no more liberal than Cochran. He is pro 2nd amendment and life. I’d vote for him over Thad. GOP Mississippi - DC cabal needs to feel pain.

[RIghtwardHo]

Are they within the % where someone can ask for a re-count? I just don’t know in MS

[RIghtwardHo]

THere may be zero legal avenues for him to challenge “every single ballot”. There are usually very few.

[WXRGina]

Yes, I understand that column. But if he were an “official” candidate entered for the purpose of being a write-in, the correct spelling of his name is what I’m wondering about.

[livius]

I guess “conservatives” really want to lose the seat to the Dems. Sorry, but this is shooting yourself in both feet - and in the head, while you’re at it.

[Black Agnes]

He can’t enter the race at all under his own name via sore loser laws.

Mcdaniel is going to be on Hannity radio program in a bit.

Are they also saying we should stop accusing GOPe candidates of bolting from the party if they lose?

It's hard to play both cards.

[Kenny]

I agree but could one of you statistics wizards figure out

1) how many registered voters in say Hinds county

2) how many dems voted for either cochran or mcdaniel in 1st primary say from Hinds county

2) what the difference was in votes this time

3) Could those who sat out June 4th have made that difference

Just sayin’ if anyone gets a chance.

[Lorianne]

No offense, but the country was headed to hell in a handbasket before Obama was elected. And Republicans ran lousy candidates both times, so we really have no room to complain (well we do, but what good would that do now?)

It might be a blessing in disguise if we have to start over from scratch, minus the GOPe millstone around our necks.

Just something to think about.

[SharpRightTurn]

“There is obviously NOTHING in the Republican Party for us but to send a message to the Cochrans, Roves and McCains.”

And Boss Hoggs.

[Mmogamer]

Medveds pissing me off, he thinks its great they got all those black dems votes for cochran...it was good reaching out to them *smh*

[Fiji Hill]

Great way to keep Harry Reid as Majority Leader.

Is there a kopek's worth of difference between Reid and McCommie?

[Political Junkie Too]

McDaniel needs to declare himself as a write-in candidate now, because it is likely that, between now and the election, Cochran is going to do something to expose himself as a senile, no longer capable, person.

When that happens, McDaniel needs to already be established to step up and offer himself as the only other viable Republican candidate.

Furthermore, it would be wise for McDaniel, between now and November, to create a situation where Cochran steps in it and exposes himself in an unguarded and unprotected moment.

I would rather have McConnell as majority leader than Reid.

R vs. D matters because of the Courts. The Democrats running the Senate did away with the filibuster, so that Obama’s nominees to the federal bench have a clear path to confirmation. I understand the frustration in Mississippi, but anything that allows the D's to control the Senate in 2015 and 2016 would be absolutely tragic.

It is possible for things to get worse than the status quo.

[Pajamajan]

Who says McDaniel would lose? Do you really think those democrats who voted for Thud yesterday are going to vote for him in November?

[WaterWeWaitinFor]

Once again, the GOPe has committed fraud against its own party rank and file members. This morning, I called to the RNSC in DC, finally got a live person, Evan on the phone. I asked him what he thought about last night's Cochran victory. He was delighted with himself and said "they" were pleased with the outcome. I said "really? You are proud that you lied about McDaniel, used Democrat votes and Democrat low tactics and said that Cochran had served well and DID want to retire, but you DC guys insisted on pulling him over the line." Also mentioned that the GOP thinks nothing of us out here in flyover country and they should be ashamed of themselves for what just happened. He did ask at one point, exactly what was it I wanted from him? Bwahaha... I said LISTEN to us, we are furious out here with GOP inaction on IRS, Illegal INVASION on the border, Benghazi, no show Mitch, EPA and on and on." In frustration, I finally said, you just don't get it do you? I said I have knocked on doors, circulated petitions, donated money, but they will NEVER, NEVER EVER get a dime from me." I politely said have a nice day and to know that there are millions of us that feel the same way. Disgusted with GOP.

THANK YOU....... I totally agree. Courts, courts, courts. AND those that sat out in 2012 gave us Zippy for another 4 years. You think Romney would have been the same? No way.
