Makes it even better.
Sometimes the ONLY way to get somebody’s attention is to hit over the head with a 2 X 4.
Rove and McCain are indeed smiling today. They will smile even more if McDaniel loses a suit or if Cochran is re-elected.
The ONLY way to wipe that smile off their damn faces is to teach them consequences have actions, vote for the Dem and make them loose this seat.
THAT sends a message.
WRONG strategy. The ONLY message it will send is that the Dem is wildly popular.
I don’t think they’re smiling. I think they’re sh*tting their pants.
Barbour and Rove are both experiences political operatives. They can read the numbers.
The numbers show a decisive 35,000 Dem turnout for Cochrane. You don’t get that with flyer,or some robocalls or doorknocks by a few dozen GOP operatives.
The ONLY way you get that is if the Democrats activated their GOTV machine and directed people to go to the polls for Cochrane.
IOW they got played by the Dems. In going after Dem votes I think they were expecting just what they needed to swing a close election.
Instead they got a tidal wave that has not only infuriated the Tea Party (who they need to “come home” in November but also appalled a heck of a lot of Conservative/GOP rank and file.
The only ones with smiles on their faces are the Dems. Particularly that MS Dem Committee Chair who, having orchestrated Cochrane’s winning margin is now egging on McDaniels to challenge it. They’ve created exactly the situation necessary to split the GOP and provide them with a Dem victory in November.
