Mississippi Showdown for U.S. Senate
Tea Party Conseratives,
We need your support now more than ever, as conservative Chris McDaniel faces 47-year incumbent Thad Cochran in a runoff on June 24th.
Last Tuesday thanks to full Tea Party support, McDaniel edged Cochran but by less than 1500 votes, and since neither recieved 50% of the total vote there will be a head-to-head runoff to decide the race.The only way for Chris McDaniel to pull all the way through is for every conservative to show up and vote on June 24th, and your resources will help us to achieve that.
We are making emergency preparations and plans to head back to Mississippi to campaign for Tea Party candidate Chris McDaniel, but it does have significant cost. Please make a contribution today so that we make sure that Chris McDaniel wins again in three weeks.
You can bet that the D.C. political establishment will be pouring all of their resources into the run off to try to defeat conservative Chris McDaniel. This isn't just a Mississippi battle- it's an American battle of grass roots conservatism vs. D.C. Republican establishment. The eyes of the entire nation are on this race and we must not lose.
Thank you, please do.
I have limited funds. I gave some to Bevin and all I got from that foolish dupe was expensive letters begging for more. I don't have the money to contribute flippantly against the combined forces of McConnell and the Slave Party when there are probably enough government employees in Mississippi venal and organized enough to do in McDaniel if the laws so permit. So I asked first.
If I do send McDaniel money, it will be directly and not through TPE. But first, I want to understand the prospects by checking out the battlefield.
It was a humorous post. I could only slander a real person not a pseudonym. I was told that only voters in the previous primary can vote. It’s an all new open primary again in MS?
It is well enough known who I am that the distinction is immaterial. Further, I have a reputation on this forum I don't want disparaged witlessly. Got it?
It’s an all new open primary again in MS?
That was the question I was asking. I don't know Mississippi laws and such "open primaries" have been something of a fad with the RINOs trying to dilute the impact of the conservative vote. So it is entirely possible Haley Barbour got something like that through. So I asked.
Got it now?
Among registered voters, the only ones prohibited from voting in the GOP runoff are those who voted in the Democrat primary.
I will not send support to a national TEA Party group but I will send a check to McDaniel.
Thanks.
I have no idea who you are. You’re not a Kardashian, are you?
You’re succumbing to a fundraising appeal. The issue hasn’t changed. Conservatives still have to get out the vote. I suspect that if they can get Cochran to debate later this week or early next, Cochran will get creamed come 6/24.
Organization on the ground will matter the most and that drives GOTV. How motivated are Cochran’s voters? Where will Thomas Carey’s voters go?
Got it, IOW Mississippi IS an "open primary" State. That's bad.
With as far ahead as Childers was in the Slave Party primary, I would expect the number the turnout to have been low and therefore the number of Democrat voters available to defeat McDaniel to be substantial. That means a well organized drive on their part would be able to take out McDaniel no matter what we do. Hence my question.
I hate this "open primary" crap.
Advantage Cochran.
How motivated are Cochran’s voters?
Money talks. Cochran is big on pork. McDaniel is not.
Where will Thomas Carey’s voters go?
They were only 1.5%. With Democrats who sat out the primary available to vote GOP in the runoff, that isn't much.
It explains why the strategy of trying to get Dems out won't work. And yes, only a person who voted in the GOP primary can vote in the run-off. That's a hard fact.. And since Miss implemented a Voter ID with this primary..there's very little chance for fraud. If people didn't have ID with them, they got a provisional ballot..they have 5 days to return with ID. It'll be interesting to learn how many provisional ballots were cast, and how many were verified..
You've got it wrong according to the Red State analysis you linked:
Obviously, the pool of Democrats who sat our their own primary but who will be sufficiently motivated to show up to vote in the GOP runoff is very small.
As much as I would like to see McDaniel as the nominee I’m not putting anything past the GOPe.
Also, don't forget the 3rd guy in the race...I suspect nearly all of his voters will come out for McDaniel.I read somewhere that the guy is a very successful realtor, so they assume that everyone who ever bought or sold a house through him, or he ever helped with a mortgage, voted for him..
Great, thanks for helping!
Send McDaniel as much as you can, he’s got to fight the dems and the GOP also.
When the top republicans fight against a conservative candidate, it just reinforces the need to get these Tea Party type Conservatives elected!
I think that is correct, and seems to be the consensus from informed posters.
Of course the dems can pretty much perpetrate what ever type of fraud they can conjure up to help conservative candidates lose.
And the GOP will applaud them.
The GOPe would rather lose the Senate to the dems again then help good Conservative candidates who believe in our Constitutional Republic (we are NOT a democracy, as of course you both know) win
Congress is a good ol' boys corrupt millionaire's club and they want to keep it that way.
They will be stopped or eventually they will be responsible for the coming revolution.
See my Post #35
I didn't and was expecting that. I'm afraid that the key here is whether the Slave Party would rather run against McDaniel or Cochran. The good news is that because it is a special election turnout will be suppressed, which is to the conservatives' advantage.
if McDaniel and/or the Miss MSM can force a debate..that’s game/set/match...it’s over..
BUMP
