I don’t trust internal polls and I don’t trust the GOPe not to do whatever they have to in order to keep this seat.
Time for the old GOPe guy to go.
Time for Fresh Conservative Blood!
From former Sen.Trent Lott - the kiss of death.
What is it with all these old men?
Last Tuesday it was 49-49. Now McDaniel’s still at 49 while Cochran dropped 8 points. He’s done.
or
Oh yeah! The polls were very accurate in the primary, stating it was too
close to call. And it ended being very close. If this poll is as accurate,
Cochran and Boss Hogg will be not be able to cheat their way to victory
And Hinds County will not be able to gin up enough votes for Boss Hogg.
Why do you think Hinds County quit reporting results for hours and hours?
Whole lot of people gonna lose their meal ticket and access to power when Cochran is gone
Go, McDaniel!!
Well he SHOULD be! He just got a windfall with that foolishness from Cochran.
Most of the national media and all of the political operatives are twisting the facts of this election to help influence the outcome. The reality is that this race has some very important structural components that makes it very tough for Cochran to come out on top.
First, the Democrat Party in Mississippi is a dysfunctional rump of its former self. Its membership consists of blacks and liberal white professors and the earth muffin types who hang around colleges towns and beaches. The professors have already voted and the earth muffins don’t have any motivation to do so. Those blacks who will go to the polls have already done so, mostly in the Democrat Primary. All of these voters are relegated to the sidelines.
Second. Cochran is an incumbent who failed to get 50%. His supporters showed up for the primary, so how is he going to come up with enough new voters to get over 50%. Very unlikely.
Third. He has never had to campaign and doesn’t know how. Unless he is sent on a fact finding tour of the Galapagos Islands he is going to make more mistakes and they are going to continue to cost him.
Fourth. The momentum is all on McDaniels side. Cantor’s defeat reinforces the populist sentiment that entrenched Washington politicians are not properly representing the folks back home. Cochran is a poster child for that sterotype.
Finally. When you are running in a wave election, it doesn’t help when your record shows that your votes put you squarely on the slide that is about to get swamped. People are now looking at that record and it won’t help him.
Polls aside, I don’t think that Cochran can overcome the things that are stacked against him.
Cochran told the crowd about visiting his grandmother in the area as a young boy and joked that he would spend time in the country “doing all sorts of indecent things with animals.”

OMG.... Either he was/is a Beastiality pervert or totally mentally incapacitated. If someone doesn’t make a political add of that gaffe, they’re missing a golden opportunity.
“Cochran told the crowd about visiting his grandmother in the area as a young boy and joked that he would spend time in the country ‘doing all sorts of indecent things with animals.’”
Where’s the resident Establishment, Big Government Republican FReeper Brigade that always tells us to go with the GOP-e candidate since the conservative/tea party candidate is very likely to lose the election to a Dim in the general election due to foot-in-mouth disease?
Jobs should come from private sector growth, not from government deficit spending.
Excellent!
This won’t even be close.
According to my sister, who lives on the Coast, Thud hasn’t been doing much at all for the shipyard, despite what Trent says.
