Cochran and his people sold themselves out to the devil to win the Republican Primary. The devil is going to eat him alive in the general election. Childers is going to expose every little aspect of his dealings and people are not going to be happy voting for a back stabbing crook. Childers will do it surgically and with a thousand cuts and the voters that put Cochran in that crossed party lines will not support him in the General election. Those voters plus the disenchanted McDaniel voters and the Democrat voters will put Childers over the top easily. Cochran is toast IMO. Barbour has lost the Mississippi Senate seat with his meddling and the Republicans have no chance in November of taking the Senate.

Re: “Republicans have no chance in November of taking the Senate.”

I agree, and said so on Free Republic a year ago.

Quick Summary of Current Polls:

We have just three guaranteed GOP Senate pick ups - South Dakota, Montana, and West Virginia.

In Louisiana, Landrieu, the Democrat, trials by just 3%, within the margin of error.

In 7 other “Senate Battleground States,” the Democrat nominee either has a small lead, or is tied.

In Georgia, Nunn(D), has a small lead over Kingston(R), the Republican who is expected to win the GOP primary.

In Georgia, Perdue(R) has a small lead over Nunn(D), but Perdue(R) trails Kingston(R) by a large margin in the primary.

In Kentucky, Mitch McConnell(R) has a 1.5% lead, within the margin of error.
