Money back to mississippi. a lot more than mcdaniel probably would. do democrats in mississippi throw cochran a life preserver now? do they head to the polls and vote for him because the alternative of actually having mcdaniel in the senate is just too unacceptable to them? or we ask this, do they get mischiefous? travis childers, within the past two weeks private democratic polling show that the party s norm nominee former representative travis childers would start statistically tied with mcdaniel. a race against cochran who is well liked would be difficult to the point of futility. instead of helping cochran, should democrats show up at the polls and vote pr mcdaniel to give their party a chance of winning in the fall? there s a real argument about whether the strongest democrat candidate could beat mcdaniel where the electorate is more polari ....

i think they do have a challenge turning out the people who do need to turn out. it s not necessarily that the turnout was lower than they needed it to be. it s more that they didn t do as well in the places that they needed to do well. the counties that should have been strong for cochran weren t. what about this decision that the karl rove crossroads group, anti-tea party republican group, that they say we re into the going to keep supporting you. we re moving on. feels to me that they are cutting him loose because they expect him not to beat mcdaniel. they re not an incumbent retention committee. they re not responsible for electing incumbents. if they go up with negative ads, they re going to knock down someone who could very well be their nominee. ....
By the way, it s not like governor where you can trust the person to be a manager. this is an ideological position, u.s. senator. why would a mississippian, white guy, conservative, vote for a democrat to vote for harry reid to be majority leader. why would they do that? well, the reason that thad cochran is going to beat mcdaniel, we have a piece, a talking card that talks about, shows mcdaniel and the radio these crazy things, derogatory things about blacks, women, mexicans. mcdaniel would be an embarrassment for the state. and mcdaniel has proven to be somebody you can t trust. he ll say anything to get elected, whereas thad cochran is somebody we know we can trust. particularly after katrina, he was able to deliver. and the people of mississippi understand that if republicans do take control of the senate, that senator cochran is going to ....
