[Dr. Sivana]

Hinds still witholding about 23% of their votes. Its a big population district, so look out for Barbor tricks

It's a big population district, but not a big Republican population district. With barely 9,000 votes with 76% reporting, they can't plausibly make up the difference with 24% left. Even of the 24%, 1/3 is going McDaniel.

[Jane Long]

I was wondering about you....looked for you on the MS threads, earlier.

Sending you (((HUGS)) from Texas, dear FRiend.

Normal Democrat Uniparty Playbook

[CharlesWayneCT]

He’s the “establishment” candidate in this race. My point is that his victory doesn’t bless the “establishment” position on amnesty because Cochran voted against it, or for looser abortion laws because except for ESC research he’s been a pretty good pro-life vote. But he is old and plays the game and isn’t that good on spending.

It would be great to replace him. But I can name 20 republican senators that are more problematic for conservatives than Cochran is, when looking at his voting record.

Heck, Kelly Ayotte, who was at one point a tea party darling, has been worse for conservative causes than Cochran (and for example is rated a “populist” rather than “hard-core” from the OnTheIssues site).

Being MS, we should be able to do better, but I’d be happy to have someone like Cochrane voting for me in my state rather than the two democrats I’m stuck with. And I bet the people suffering with Graham in South Carolina would also be pleased with a record like Cochrane’s.

I don’t want to sound like I wish he would win — I would like him to lose, and think McDaniel could win the general election. But I won’t see a win by Cochrane as a refutation of tea party principles, because Cochrane is not all that horrible in that measurement compared to some others.

((((Cajun))))
I had a tough day.
DJ can tell you.
Chris McDaniel HAS to win!!!!

Praise God, we had to show ID’s at the polls!!!!

I put McDaniel signs right in front of the Thad signs at my polling place!!!!

The polling man in charge LET ME and he stood guard all day.

[Viennacon]

76.3% reporting from Hinds county.
Here is the breakdown currently

T. Cochran (i) 68.6% 6,294
C. McDaniel 30.8% 2,830
T. Carey 0.6% 54

[Hoodat]

With 83.2% counted, McDaniel 848 votes above 50%.

[GeronL]

Hang on, there are other races to watch too? lol

[Black Agnes]

He supports amnesty.

Why do you think Haley ‘amnesty’ Barbour is hammering for a Cochran win so hard? To vote against the amnesty Haley has cooked up with Zuckerberg?

Right.

Cochran’s voted to fund planned barrenhood many times.

And let’s talk about the debt ceiling votes...

[tennmountainman]

Hinds is where the cheating of last resort will happen.

There is no excuse to only report 2% more in an hour unless
major cheating is under way.

[JRandomFreeper]

Or, you could just shut up.

That would work.

[Viennacon]

C. McDaniel 50.1% 127,935
T. Cochran (i) 48.3% 123,399

McDaniel lead shrinks slightly, but he’s still above 50%

[Viennacon]

How many votes is he ahead of Cochran?

[SoConPubbie]

On The Issues rates him a hard-core conservative, but he isn’t that hard-core.

He may not be the candidate people wanted, but he’s hardly a poster-boy for the “establishment”. They’ll claim him to pretend they defeated the tea party.

Au Contraire!

This is Thad Cochran, the pretend Republican:

Cochran (MS) - 06/03/14 - 54% (Average) - 57% (Heritage) - 56% (CFG) - 60% (ACU) - 41% (FreedomWorks)

He's at or near the bottom with all conservative rating agencies.

[GeronL]

That is good news. Avoiding a run-off will save McDaniel some $$$ because he sure isn’t going to be getting any money from the GOPe and CoC

[Political Junkie Too]

Thank you.
