Mississippi Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Travis Childers today became the first Democrat to sign an anti-amnesty pledge from the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), a unexpected and extraordinary play that could significantly change the dynamics of his campaign against incumbent Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS).

Well Played, Democrat, well played.
Cochran has dementia.
He will vote the way McConnell tells him.
And McConnell supports amnesty.
Do not vote for Cochran!
No, that was before nap time..
it’s time for Jello snacks.
[ Thad’s busy. It’s coloring time. ]
I thoguth it was nap time or ensure time...
No telling how many Depends Cochran goes thru in a day.
It doesn’t matter what one demonrat says, if Reid runs the Senate he’ll get whatever he wants.
A vote for any demonrat is a vote Reid/Pelosi.
51-49 isn’t good enough. More Senate Republicans up in 2016 than Dems so we need a buffer.
However, how about this for a scenario ... Orman wins in KS and declares his intent to caucus with the Dems. Childers, wanting more than a single Senate term, flips to the GOP in response (extracting all sorts of concessions for doing so)
Wishful thinking, but still ...
“This could actually work pretty well.
Win Iowa, Colorado, Alaska . . . lose Miss and Kentucky. Get 51-49 control of the Senate and see all the old wood get kicked out!” Please don’t overlook Terri Lynn Land in Michigan who is only down 41/39. She is a fierce enemy of amnesty. We are not hearing much about Terri’s race, but that doesn’t mean the Democrat is winning. This was supposed to be a walkover for them. Now with it being a Democrat seat (Levin) the 20 points of undecided could break against Peters the Democrat and surprise surprise we have another Senate seat and a conservative at that!
If you can please send Terri Lynn Land something because you know she’s not getting a dime from Tokyo Rove and his buddies in the Chamber of Commerce.
The border fence is more sold than that pledge.
If McDaniel doesn’t get the election overturned, I urge everyone to vote for Childers. We have to make the GOPe understand what happens when they play with fire.
[ No telling how many Depends Cochran goes thru in a day. ]
I am enSure it Depends on how much he has had to drink earlier in the Day.
Senate Leadership is MUCH more strict than the House. Even without an exceptional tyrant like Reid at the head.
Most likely though, he’d only be required to vote for cloture anyway.
Some Democrats used to be awake enough to see the writing onthe wall:

lol.
Thanks Mcconnell & Rove! You may have really misjudged what Conservatives could take.
Many RINO’s have also enabled Reid with their cloture votes, as well.
If Childers makes a few more rightward promises, we could have a real
Senate race in MS.
On the flip side, what has Cochran pledged, and what is his word worth? We can't effectively punish the GOPe itself w/o wreaking vengeance on those it helps in order to betray us. Many of us are seriously going against our core beliefs on this one and actually voting for Childers vs. just withholding our votes from Thad - to vote for Cochran is to endorse their betrayal and Childers is appearing to be at least as conservative as Thad ever pretended to be - when he wasn't a senile, doddering, has-been.
“Now some staffer’s gonna have to wake Thad up and explain to him what amnesty is.”
haley barbour’s pro amnesty vote will be cast by Cochran. State Senator McDaniel is and has been againsy amnesty and strong borders. travis childers pledge means nothing, he’s just another democrat. That being said I will NOT vote for Cochran, I’m writing in McDaniel, knowing it won’t count, and praying for a just court decision and the primary being over turned.
And you believe him? Lol.
