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.
Which is what (Barbour’s hand-picked successor for Cochran) was behind all the skullduggery, more than any ideological opposition to the Tea Party here. But they went down that road, of using opposition to the Tea Party and true conservatives for their own purposes, and I hope they die by the sword they chose to use (and I don’t mean by a ‘rat win either, that would be a loss for everyone).
