I wish we could take that much credit, but in my state, one often touted as being distilled conservatism, Cochran was re-elected. Of course a lot of skull-duggerywas involved in it, but not enough that conservatives couldn’t have denied Cochran re-election. Of course that needed to be done in the primary.
I agree with you - but better Cochran than any Dem.
A future problem with the Cochran victory is that when he retires, which could easily happen in 2015, Haley Barbour will get to choose his replacement rather than the people of Mississippi.
As a native Mississippian, I was disgusted with the Cochran fiasco. Demoncrats can use this as a “case study” of how the “elites” overrule the will of the People.
