Full Title: Chris McDaniel's Lawyer Explains Why Thad Cochran's Black Voter Outreach "Took Mississippi Back 50 Years in Race Relations"

Three weeks and one day after Mississippi's Republican runoff ended, attorneys for state Sen. Chris McDaniel held a press conference -- their second -- describing what might constitute a challenge of Sen. Thad Cochran's win.

"There's already enough evidence to file the challenge," said Mitch Tyner, the lead attorney for the insurgent Republican.

That did not mean that the campaign had found more votes cast by Democrats than votes separating Cochran from McDaniel. "There's really not a vote number threshold," said Tyner. (Mississippi law prevents anyone from voting in one party's primary and the other party's runoff for the same election.) It meant that the state had played hide-the-poll book, and made it difficult to trace how many such votes were cast.

"Call us naive," said Tyner. "Call Chris McDaniel naive. He had no amount this amount of election fraud was going on. In my heart, I believe Chris McDaniel won the primary and a runoff was not necessary."

Tyner was joined by State Sen. Michael Watson, a colleague of McDaniel who asked why more Republicans weren't outraged at how the campaign ended. When they saw the ads paid for by a firm paid by the NRSC, the ads that warned black voters that McDaniel wanted to suppress their vote -- this, when the campaign was only protesting illegal votes -- the Republicans should have exclaimed something like "Dear God, you improperly used my money."

"Where is Reince Priebus?" asked Watson. "Where is the Republican Party? Where is the leadership that comes out and says, that was wrong, and that will not happen again?"

I am voting democrat the first time in life if Cochran is on the ballot.-

I’m thinking about another 100,000 McDaniel Supporters and Tea Party people will join you. Travis Childers is Pro-Life and Pro-2nd Amendment.

HOW ABOUT YOU GUYS FORMING THE “CONSERVATIVES FOR CHILDERS” coalitian and giving Cochran and Company diarrhea from September to November 4.

[Din Maker]

if one third of the state pubs voted third party, this would put the fear of god in the gop-e.

But, would it be enough of an effort to defeat Cochran? I don’t think so. Not voting for the Dem helps Cochran. All he has to do is get one vote more than the Democrat and he has another 6 year term. But every vote the Dem gets, puts another nail in Thad’s suit case.

I’ll bet 50 bucks Cochran loses. Winner pays FR.

[Din Maker]

ANYTHING other than voting for the ‘RAT would be a meaningless “feel good” vote. It’s time for us to draw political blood from the RINOs

YES!!! HELL YES! See my Post #22 as well. Anything but a vote for Chris McDaniel or Travis Childers is a vote for Cochran.

But not every state has a third party Senate candidate. I don’t think TX does. Louisiana does not.
