(13,992 posts)Mississippi hasn't had a Democratic Senator since 1989, and even than one (John Stennis) wasn't exactly a McGovern Liberal. The GOP could have placed one of Thad Cochran's old barnyard dates on the ballot and probably would have won.

(15,189 posts)I hope they take that power and use it come November. This should be the beam of light at that dark red tunnel we all need to escape. This old man who had sexual encounters with animals shouldn't be hard to beeeeeeeet!

(15,429 posts)It's quite possible that sour grapes from the McDaniel supporters could still throw this seat to Childers if enough Baggers sit it out.
So my suggestion is, sign up on Bagger forums and urge them to withhold their votes from Cochran.

(2,785 posts)and assume there was a major influx of African American voters in this republican primary. I haven't seen the full demographic break down, but just a small increase of African Americans would've been enough to turn this election that's how close it was. Regardless if Cochran is reelected he owes his seat to them.

(15,189 posts)And how do we handle cheaters in the Democratic Party? We write STERN letters with no response. (See Al Gore) World keeps turning. Again, I'll take Bestiality for $500 Alex.
