JACKSON, Miss. — U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran won the state's Republican primary runoff over challenger Chris McDaniel by 7,667 votes, according to a certification made by the state Republican Party and submitted to the Secretary of State on Monday, the legal deadline.
The result was wider than the 6,800-vote win counted by The Associated Press after the June election. Tallies usually change as county parties examine provisional ballots and finalize results....

Contribute to the ‘rat candidate.
Vote and work for Reform Party Shawn O Hara if McDaniel or another conservative can’t be a write in.
The Republican nominee will face two candidates in the Nov. 4 general election: Democratic former U.S. Rep. Travis Childers and the Reform Party’s Shawn O’Hara, who has run unsuccessfully for several statewide offices over the past 23 years.

Isn't a special election required, unless the remaining term is quite short? Which would not be the case for Cochran elected to a new six-year term.
Yeah, get out there and support the GOP! Once the GOP wins the senate, the highly aggressive Boehner/McConnell leadership team will relentlessly pursue all avenues impeach Obama and shut down the ‘Rats! See how stupid that looks when you read it?
Not without ample reason! REMEMBER MISSISSIPPI!
As far as I can tell, the results being certified is a good thing, because now proper legal challenges can be mounted against it.
Hopefully, they’ll continue to fight and fight and fight until the liberals who claim to be Rs are ground down to a stump, and the Mississippi GOP can be rebuilt by actual conservatives.
You aren’t defeated until you accept defeat.
Miss MS... Was defiled in the worst way by the “good ole boys”of the GOPe.
I never dreamed that one day the GOP would cheat, lie, and decieve their own party.
Mississippi GOP = Team Romney = Election Fraud for Romney
What options does he have left?
Withhold all money to the national GOP. Give to conservatives you think will uphold what this country was founded on and screw the rest.
Cash is the key.
I guess you can’t read! You completely missed my point.
Just vote for the democrat and blow Cochran out of the water. Make it a defeat of epic proportions. The democrats are no more of a threat than entrenched GOP-e goons..
I can read and cypher pretty good.
sorry, but my arm would break itself if ever I should try and vote democrat.
If Cochran loses by 90% that is a message even team Romney's incompetent handlers cannot ignore. We don't need Thad. He needs us. Show him.
Thank you. I agree with this sentiment. We must NEVER give up...because that is exactly what they want us to do. That’s why they are overwhelming us with so much BS...to tire us out, exhaust us, make us feel like there’s no hope.
The only way, IMO, we have no hope, is if there was no God.
This is so true in all the elections. Pubbies would rather feast than their own like cannibals in order to get an annointed person elected. But when it comes to running against a Dem, they act like scared little kittens...
Good thing there are so many Tea party friendly judges. /s
If McDaniel loses out on the GOP nomination, he should run as an Independent. We will probably lose MS this time around, but it is time to show the GOPers that they had better pay full attention to their core.
