And this is where it all ends for Thad. Run for the exits, RINOs.

Will the run-off be open like the primary was?

The choice is between a GOPe RINO who has been in Congress for 40 years and a TEA Party challenger.

And I’m sick of the continuous coverage of the nursing home story. What about the fact that Cochran is living in an aide’s “basement apartment” in DC, except the house she owns doesn’t have a damn basement.

Makes me glad primaries in my state aren’t till August. The more tea party wins between now and then, the better. Hopefully they’ll discourage attempting to take out tea partiers.

To: nickcarraway
The primary race took an ugly turn in its final weeks after one of McDaniel's supporters broke into a nursing home to take pictures of Cochran's ailing wife, Rose, who suffers from dementia. This whole "scandal" appears to rest on the belief that a candidate is responsible for the actions of every one of his/her supporters. I don't know of any politician that could meet that standard.

Cochran faces disadvantages in the runoff that range from his lethargic campaign effort to the likelihood of a smaller, more-conservative turnout in three weeks and the prohibition on Democratic crossover voters participating in the election.Looks like the RINOs know they can't win a closed primary.

We shall soon see by the tone of the ads that will run against McDaniel
if Boss Hogg and the GOP really want to take the Senate or have
they been lying to us all along. The tone of the upcoming ads will tell the tale.
Onward to the running off of Cochran.

they know the sitting senator is more likely to lose, and going after his opponent will only damage the party's ability to beat the Democratic candidate and take over the Senate. It's an excruciating decision for all of Cochran's supporters, from the National Republican Senatorial Committee to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. And even though they're reiterating their support, it already looks like they are ready to scale back, and that means less money and toned-down attacks. <<
I'm surprised how many freepers seemed disappointed by the numbers on Tuesday and expected McDaniel to win outright.
It's extremely difficult to pass a sitting Senator in your party during a primary, and McDaniel pulled it off. Even if Cochran had narrowly beaten McDaniel by a few hundred votes (which he didn't!), Cochran getting under 50% was still huge news and the momentum is now on McDaniel's side, which Cochran supporters seem to be conceding and realizing the odds are that Cochran will lose the runoff no matter what they do.
McDaniel is already ahead, and with the third Republican being eliminated, I expect the vast majority of that guy's votes will go to McDaniel since the people voting for the third guy weren't happy with the incumbent Senator. I really can't see any way Cochran wins the runoff unless ol' Miss has some kind of fully open primary system and there's no RAT primary and the MS RATS have a good reason to want Cochran back in Washington.
Funny thing about Cochran, he was a Republican in Miss long before it was "popular" to be one. But he has NEVER been a conservative. Thad, you may have set the stage, but now its time for new players to run the show.

To Cochran’s disadvantage...the prohibition on Democratic crossover voters participating in the election.

But, if they voted in the Primary yesterday, they can vote in the run-off; can’t they?

I predict that before this coming Tuesday, June 10th, Thad will drop out and there will be no run-off.
