Mitch McConnell, the NRSC and the Chamber of Commerce went all in for moderate Thad Cochran in Mississippi (57% conservative rating with Heritage Action):
Back in Washington, Cochran’s most important allies resolved to muffle their anxiety and stick with him for another three weeks. The Chamber of Commerce polled the race, concluded the senator had a difficult but viable path to victory; the group began brainstorming inventive ways to make a splash in the state, culminating with a sensational commercial starring NFL legend Brett Favre. National Republican Senatorial Committee political director Ward Baker, confronted with Beltway pessimism about Cochran’s chances, repeatedly told Republicans in D.C.: “We don’t leave our people on the field.”
But it took 35K Democrats to push him past grassroots challenger Chris McDaniel:
Surprisingly, more votes were cast in the runoff than in the June 3 primary. McDaniel increased his vote from 155,000 on June 3 to 184,600 last night. But the 25-35,000 Dems who crossed over to vote for Cochran gave him the extra margin to surpass his opponent.
This is more reason for Chris McDaniel to run as a write-in candidate in the general election.

I would think that would be very possible. Scan the names into a database (heck even a text file) and use a simple lookup to highlight the names to be further researched by the investigative team. Once you identify a number equal too or that exceeds the vote differential, you have enough information to proceed with the lawsuit.
You would rather give control to the Dems?!?!? How dare you! Lol. /s
I'm with you. I been voting the lesser of evils for too many years. I'm done with that.
RE#27-I had not heard that before. Guess McDaniel is screwed any way he turns? What a mess...
They should both be feeling more like Admiral Yamamoto this morning .....
The man is a respected 2-term state senator from Mississippi. He did not deserve to be treated this way by the state party. How effective can he still be locally when he was disgustingly accused of being a racist by his own party leaders?
I also put blame on the Republican National Committee for its silence on this matter.

We need to USE that Flyer against cochran in November!!!!
We need to punish our enemies.... ~ Barak Obama....
I hate to say it but old Barry was rigth on that one...
How do you stop a Dog from pissing all over the rug?? Not by patting it on the head...
we need to take a rolled up newspaper to the GOPe and especially the GOP senators and reps and organisations that Supported the dirty tactics employed by the GOPe in mississippi, people like McCain and Orin Hatch to name a few...
Remember Mississippi!
Why don’t we do something a lot more effective?
Vote Cochran out by voting for Childers?
After all, conservatives got called racist, $hit on and pissed on in MS
by their own party. Are you one of those who enjoy being dumped on
by your own party? Are you not enraged?
If not, we had better send a much more forceful message or they will
continue to dump on you and me.
After all, the GOPe’s think they have found a winning strategy in MS.
Is this what you want to see in future elections?
Travis Childers is a local businessman, a member of a church and is active, he spends time with his local people, he listens and takes the time to hear them. He is friendly and pleasant. He's a member of the NRA and is as Conservative as many of us, moreso than Cochran. With McDaniel out of the picture, there is no chance of getting someone in D.C. that will speak for the Conservative concerns as McDaniel promised. That leaves me a choice between the men without respect to party because in the bigger picture it means nothing, we are going to have a Democrat supporter up there anyway. Cochran will likely step down and another will be appointed by the GOPE which means we don't even have a choice in the issue if Cochran wins. Childers at least will listen and make decisions with at least having listened to his constituents as Cochran hasn't. So, who is the most logical choice for someone like me if my choice is between Childers or Cochran?
Nuts.
McDaniels was right yesterday to say that he was "betrayed." The man is a respected 2-term state senator from Mississippi. He did not deserve to be treated this way by the state party. How effective can he still be locally when he was disgustingly accused of being a racist by his own party leaders?
McDaniels needs to go scorched earth back on everyone who did this to him, if he is to remain a credible figure in the state legislature.
Fight hard to purge the party hacks who thought it was okay to do this to an established figure in the state.

Remember Mississippi!!!!
Everytime the “Rove Meister” says we need to support establishment Republicans this should be our response and we should hammer them over the head on this....
If the Establishment will not even be honorable enough to wage a fair fight against their base and go so low as to elicit dirty help from their supposed opoponets in the other party, can they ever be trusted again, ever....??
NO they cannot...
You are welcome. Let them have it. They should not be enjoying their shameful, sleazy victory.
I like it.
It wasn’t “dirty pool”. It was playing by the rules as the rules currently stand. The old saying is if you don’t like the rules, change them. By the way Barbour isn’t Governor anymore.
Any thing McDaniel can do to weaken Cochran chances in the general
is a good thing. It also allows McDaniel time to decide what to do in the
future.
I am certain Haley Barbaur is trying to buy McDaniel off, as we speak.
Nothing in my opinion justifies voting for a Democrat. If you want to protest, write-in McDaniel.
No Democrat is acceptable, Obama is trying to run out the clock while he lets his Muslim brothers take over. Don’t do anything to help him.
[ I said this on another thread. Cochran has shown that he is a sell out, he is a puppet for Barbour, he has been in D.C. for over forty years and I have written him at least every other year and he has NEVER returned any of my phone calls or written me back, even with a form letter. He votes with Obama and now owes the black voting block and Bennie Thompson favours. He is a liability.

Childers probably has a greater chance of “Crossing the Aisle” for important issues and siding with real american values than Thad has of staying on his side and not crossing the aisle for the important issues...
So let’s say they find a number of Rats who were ineligible to vote.
No way to tell how they voted. So how dies that turn over the results?
Open primaries are really stupid. Any state with open primaries needs to seriously rethink the laws.
