What is a Democrat politician’s pledge worth? About 2/3 of the average GOP politician’s pledge. In other words, zero.

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.

My take, not being from Mississippi, is that Cochran is an idiot, but at least he’ll caucus with the GOP. I hope McDaniel’s isn’t done in the courts, too.
