How did the chances of taking the Senate go up? Unless there is no Dim running in Mississippi, we just lost that “sure thing” state.
How many states do the R’s have to pick up to take over the Senate? Which states look good for the R’s to pick up? Which are we at risk of losing (like MS now)?
I don’t think that McDaniel worked hard enough. Cochran had McCain campaign for him the day before the election. Why didn’t McDaniel have Sarah Palin or Ted Cruz the day before? Because McDaniel thought he had it in the bag and didn’t have to work until the last minute before election results. You cannot go into election day thinking you are winning. You have to go in thinking you are 40 points behind. Cochran although low did work hard until the bitter end. Going to the churches was a good move for him. Why didn’t McDaniel go to the churches? They didn’t even have to the African American churches, but any churches? Why didn’t McDaniel counter Brett Farve with a conservative Quarterback like Drew Brees? Because McDaniel’s was measuring the drapes of his new office, that is why. Arrogance never won an election. Hard work does always.
