GOP Sen. Thad Cochran Has Absolutely No Idea That Eric Cantor Lost

During an interview with Fox News on Friday, Cochran was asked whether he believes Cantor’s defeat means anything for his own Mississippi GOP primary runoff election against tea party challenger Chris McDaniel. The exchange that followed is… surprising:

COCHRAN: I don’t know what you’re talking about. What happened in Virginia?

FOX NEWS: With Eric Cantor losing his seat.

COCHRAN: Well, I haven’t really followed that campaign very closely at all.

FOX NEWS: Really?

COCHRAN: Really.

FOX NEWS: So you have no comment that you want to make?

COCHRAN: No, I can make a comment. You asked me what happened, I don’t know. I didn’t follow that campaign very closely.

FOX NEWS: Well, Eric Cantor lost his seat and Majority Leader.

COCHRAN: Yeah, well, that happens. You know, members of Congress, some win, some lose.

if that's an accurate portrayal-how could you vote for someone so out of touch--oh yeah his opponent is Tea Party.

I'm not a big fan of Childers, but he is a Dem and I'm going to help get him elected. If McDaniel does something epicly stupid or nutty, we can flip a seat that has been held by a Republican for decades. I want to help make that happen.

One I saw mentioned this morning had Cochran down like 49-41. I think the tea bragger wins by at least 10 on the 24th.
