Travis Childers is a local businessman, a member of a church and is active, he spends time with his local people, he listens and takes the time to hear them. He is friendly and pleasant. He's a member of the NRA and is as Conservative as many of us, moreso than Cochran. With McDaniel out of the picture, there is no chance of getting someone in D.C. that will speak for the Conservative concerns as McDaniel promised. That leaves me a choice between the men without respect to party because in the bigger picture it means nothing, we are going to have a Democrat supporter up there anyway. Cochran will likely step down and another will be appointed by the GOPE which means we don't even have a choice in the issue if Cochran wins. Childers at least will listen and make decisions with at least having listened to his constituents as Cochran hasn't. So, who is the most logical choice for someone like me if my choice is between Childers or Cochran?
[ I said this on another thread. Cochran has shown that he is a sell out, he is a puppet for Barbour, he has been in D.C. for over forty years and I have written him at least every other year and he has NEVER returned any of my phone calls or written me back, even with a form letter. He votes with Obama and now owes the black voting block and Bennie Thompson favours. He is a liability.

Childers probably has a greater chance of “Crossing the Aisle” for important issues and siding with real american values than Thad has of staying on his side and not crossing the aisle for the important issues...
Hear hear.
