| Cochran Wins, But McDaniel Camp Eying Legal Challenges |
| 2014-06-26 |
| [BREITBART] Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) survived the most intense challenge he's ever faced in his 41-year political career, winning a runoff against conservative state Sen. Chris McDaniel. The News Agency that Dare Not be Named called the race for Cochran, who is up 6,880 votes with 99.9 percent of precincts reporting. A source close to McDaniel told Breitbart News that he is considering legal challenges over ballots. Democrats who voted for Cochran on Tuesday but voted three weeks ago in the Democratic primary in the state were not allowed to vote in Tuesday's election. Election results indicate Cochran's late appeal to Democratic voters paid off, with the incumbent senator picking up sizable vote totals in precincts with heavily black populations. Partisanship in Mississippi is largely polarized on racial lines, and Cochran allies paid key Democratic operatives to help turn out the vote. |

| #6 Cochran will resign in a couple years. He was set to retire but the talked that senile asshole into running for his puppet masters. Cochran resigns, then Henry Barbour gets appointed, just like that scumbag Haley Barbour wanted when he paid for the lying bigoted Robo calls and flyers to scare democrats into voting contrary to the law [vote in primary only for candidate you support in the general] That's the kind of bullshit you get in open primaries. Presidentially, you end up with McCain or Romney due to Dems in lblue states |

| #5 Funny thing is, tally only the GOP votes (per sources) and McDaniel wins by as much as 5-8% |

| #4 Both sides knew the rules. The failing Cochran's handlers took advantage of the rules, McDaniel was Pearl Pure and LOST. What a train wreck. Perhaps Cochran will resign in a year or 2. |

| #3 Drudge was reporting that 35,000 Dems voted in the Republican primary. Blacks especially were recruited. Regardless of which candidate you wanted, both sides can agree that a closed primary is better for the party. Al |

| #1 Cochran ran a sleazy campaign that is more worthy of the Democratics. He warned certain segments of the Donk base that they were going to end up in chains, lose their freedoms, lose their vote, and lose their welfare benefits. What was it that Reagan said about speaking ill of fellow Republicans? He was opposed to it. If you act like a Democrat, speak like a Democrat, make phony promises, and demonize your opponent, then what have you become? |
