Chris McDaniel, the Republican candidate in last Tuesday’s GOP primary that fell just shy of defeating long-time incumbent Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS), reacted to the outcome.
McDaniel laid out his Republican credentials and questioned why his state’s Republican Party had gone to such lengths to for Cochran.
“It was shocking,” McDaniel said. “I’m a two-term state senator. I’ve been a Republican since I was 13-years old. I’ve paid my dues. I’ve gone door to door. I’ve given money. I considered these men and woman to be my friends and colleagues. But desperation and the quest for power pushed them somewhat over the edge. And Tuesday evening the Republican primary in Mississippi was not decided by Republican voters. It was decided by 35,000-40,000 Democrats. That’s unprecedented, extraordinarily unusual.”
He also claimed he had evidence of more than 1,000 voting irregularities in just one country and pointed to the desperate tactics Cochran employed to get Democrats out to vote for him.
“It’s not so much a recount,” McDaniel continued. “We’re looking to the issue of whether or not people who participated in if June 3 Democrat Primary crossed over into the Republican Primary this Tuesday night. We’ve found more than 1,000 examples of that in one county alone. So, we’ve found widespread irregularities of ineligible voters. They should not have been there in the first place. And they were pushed there. This is what's shocking, Sean. They were pushed there be an overt action, an aggressive action on the part of Sen. Cochran’s campaign that was filled with race-baiting, lies, distortions. He literally ran the latter three weeks on food stamps. He ran on voter suppression and he ran on pork. Mississippi is a conservative state and one would think that our party was a conservative party. This proves otherwise.”

Actually, I don’t blame Thad as much as I do those in the background. I seriously doubt he even knew there was a runoff.
Hannity was wonderful by the way. Told Morris he'd never vote for Cochran that Cochran had crossed the line and I think he was sincere.
I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.

“and one would think that our party was a conservative party. This proves otherwise.”
He better be careful. He’ll get pics of yosemitie sam on a dragon posted about him saying things like that...
Send funding to continue this fight to McDaniel’s campaign address. It will be very satisfying to tell the RNC when they call for donations that you gave to the cause of having fair elections in MS.
Well, so what? The GOP has never gone after vote fraud and they damn sure aren’t going to in this case. Cochran won by hook or by crook, and in a few weeks this will be forgotten.
Sadly if people really cared about vote fraud, we’d have mandatory photo ID laws in every state.
We HAVE mandatory photo ID in Mississippi. This was the first election that required it, in fact.
Not so sure. Look at the Hattiesburg mayoral race. A judge made them do it over due to irregularities. I recommend they go to the same judge
If this mess continues we will lose the senate. Hannity cannot vote in Mississippi anyway. The tea party has many facets I wish they would work as hard to get rid of Democrats rather than try to take down all republicans. Republians eat their own. Democrats stick together. Not all so called tea partiers are conservative. I have family in Mississippi. They love Cochran. and now think that McDaniel is a big sore loser.
Remember the seats we lost in the last senate races. I even contributed to some of them, like Delaware and Nevada. We still have Harry Reid.
Is your family aware that Cochran lives in open adultery with a woman other than his wife?
Are they aware that he takes her on overseas trips where she is treated as a ‘spouse’ and not a worker?
Are they aware that she attends social functions with him as his ‘date’?
Even Bill Clinton didn’t behave that way. He never lived with someone other than his wife nor did he take any of his ‘women’ to public functions.
You can bet Holder is already lining up his lawyer boys to sue Mississippi.
You said “I wish they would work as hard to get rid of Democrats rather than try to take down all republicans.”
I say “I wish the republican establishment would work as hard to get rid of Democrats rather than try to take down all tea party candidates.”
Cochran is a senile crook who needs to retire.
Haley Barbour sleaze politics ! I don't want the vile Mitchy ,Mcscab and Grahnesty in power in DC any more than Reid. These creatures plotted to steal this election and are the enemies as much as Reid.
Thank you Haley Barbour.
Singlehandedly detonated a suicide nuke in the middle of his own state political party.
He will live in infamy.
The IRS wanted to audit Grassley because Lerner THOUGHT he MIGHT take his wife somewhere and someone else pay for it. But it’s okay for Cochran to take his mistress and the taxpayers pay for it.
Until the rinos are destroyed, there is no hope. A liberal democrat can be defeated when the voters don’t have a rino option. Think Ford v Carter. Rino option. Then look at Reagan v Carter. No rino option.
F Holder. As Cruz said, he should be impeached.
We need to focus on these results and the clerks who are trying to block McDaniel’s people ballot access to run out the clock. I mean MOBS of Tea Partiers going down to these polling places WITH CAMERAS so we get the traitors on tape, and demanding the books be released so McDaniel activists can tally the fraudulent votes.
That is all it requires. You get the voting books from every county, with hundreds of people working on them in every county. You compile the fraud votes and present them to a judge, preferably the one who made Mississippi redo the Hattiesberg mayoral race last year.
What’s it like being an open situational ethicist among conservatives? I am curious.
Sorry to tell you, jackass, but your family are a bunch of retards. THE EVIDENCE IS PLAIN. THIS WAS FRAUD! No way are we going to sit back and do nothing, and no way are we going to let Cochran walk back into the senate after he cheated, even if it means actively campaigning for Childers.
Now, go and worship your Karl Rove soap effigy and leave being a conservative to the actual conservatives.
I seriously wonder how you have not be zotted. What a stupid post.
And what is it your relatives love about Thad Cochran? Is it his bestiality? The affair he is having while his wife rots away in a nursing home? Is it all the pork he brings home? Is it the severe dementia which renders him a dribbling spluttering old goat?
Please, I want to know.
So where are we now? Saw Chris on Hannity. What procedures are underway? Are we looking for a sympathetic judge like the one who ruled on that mayor? How much time to we have to knock Team Barbour on their ass?
