Electing Childers could give the Democrats the 50th Senate seat they need in the fall to preserve their majority. (Biden would cast the deciding vote in case of 50/50 ties, of course.) That’s not a big risk on legislation given that Republicans will control the House but it’s a huge risk on Supreme Court nominations, if/when Harry Reid ends up nuking the filibuster and allowing confirmation by simple majority vote. If O knows he can get a nominee through with just 51 votes, he’ll feel safer nominating someone who’s further left. Also, the more seats you hand to Democrats now, the better position they’ll be in come 2016, when they’re expected to clean up in battleground states. Sean Trende thinks there’s even a (small) chance that Democrats will win a filibuster-proof majority. If you sacrifice Mississippi now, you’re making that marginally more likely.

We’ve been hearing the same thing for years, but guess what. SCOTUS stamped Obamacare with the seal of approval. Repubican judge voted for it. Repubican judges have helped overturn marriage in state after state, Bush appointments and so forth.

I cannot in good conscience aid and abet someone as sleazy, vicious, disgusting, and demented as Thad Cockring. He deserves to lose, and I think he will lose if this vote isn’t overturned. half of the base in that state is PISSED.

So be it!

Do you really expect the GOP to stand up to Obama in any event?

I have never seen a more despicable and stupid group of political ‘leaders’ than those in the GOP house and senate leadership!

Obama will just have more Republicans to blame for his failures!

Filibuster-proof majority???? What are you smoking? The filibuster is dead unless the ever spaghetti-spined GOP Ruling Class would like to restore it for Harry Reid's convenience in blocking those, well just embarrassing GOP base efforts to restore the Republic for reasons other than Muffie's trust fund. If Obozo names Barbara Boxer or Al Franken or Howard Dean or Charles Manson to the Supreme Court, the GOP Elite will mumble their collective support because, after all, Obozo gets to name his appointees. All that is jeopardized is babies, guns, marriage, the actual future of the Republic and other things that no self-respecting snob would be caught dead caring about.

If Childers were elected and behaved no better than Cockroach, then Childers will be the very last Demonrat ever elected to the Senate from Dixie. BUT.... Childers is reportedly pro-life, pro-gun and anti-Obozocare which are three more issues than you can trust Cockroach or other GOP-Elites on. You can trust the GOP-E to protect polo as an endangered sport, however, if THAT is what you really care about!

It is long past time for conservatives to file for divorce from Chatsworth Worthington XXXII and the guys and gals down at the US Chambers of Crony Commerce. Muffie and her trust fund can go straight to hell.
