How long before he sees that the game is up and he concedes?
I give him a week.

(30,058 posts)campaign workers breaking into the nursing home where Cochran's wife is and taking her picture. This is the lowest anyone can go, apparently his crew does not have any respect.

I find it amusing that the racist teahadists lost, by the very law and very people, who the runoff format was designed to exclude.
Now McDaniel wants to find a way to novate the vote by blacks in MS because in his words they cheated, yet it was an open election.

People like that are not just a reason for the decriminalization of marijuana, they are a compelling reason for it's mandatory use.

(284 posts)He got more votes in the first count. Add in a democrat challenger that will siphon some off the support that Cochran needed to win and you have victory with less than 50% of the vote.
In 2008 Cochran won 61%-37% against state representative Fleming.
If Dems get a larger voter turnout than the record in 08 it's possible to sneak a win. If Dems don't show up McDaniel as a write-in could steal it with 30something percent of the vote.
Very important to GOTV if McDaniels decides to stay in.
