No doubt about it, Thad needs to go! In the past few years when it mattered, he has dropped the ball and people are getting really tired of republicans who talk good early then do a Lott-Barbour maneuver and go for the $$$!

I'm pretty sure Watkins & Eager would take him back

Thanks for a good job Thad, but not voting for any incumbent.

Surprise surprise. You can get a poll to say anything depending on what you want to spend

Sorta like the unemployment numbers?

Wasn't this poll commissioned by Democrats, supposedly to find out if the non-Thad field was weak enough for one of their party to make a run? Whatever...any poll that shows Tate Reeves with only 3% in a statewide election shouldn't be taken seriously. He could bite a high school girl in the face and get more than that.

He could bite a high school girl in the face and get more than that.

Big deal. Steve Holland can make passionate, manly love to a bull moose and get 5%.

Does not matter, talk to anybody on "The Hill" and they will tell you that the word for the last few months now is that Thad is not running. His good friend at MS State, Dr. Keenum, has already secured him a spot there in Starkville. The initial plan was for Thad to be re-elected, serve a bit, then step-down and have Feel appoint Keenum to the seat. Apparently, McDaniel wrecked that plan.

this claims to have polled Republicans....and Jim Hood shows better than Delbert. Funny how they pick the Cochran results to publicize when there are so many other bizarre take aways in these results. The only use for this poll is to wipe up spilled coffee.

"He could bite a high school girl in the face and get more than that.

You're on!

You set it up, and I'll handle the wagering :-)

Dr. Kennum? Mississippi State? Say it ain't so. I wondered why they stopped play for commercial just to trot Thad out at the Alabama game and threw him up on the jumbotron. Why would they do that for an ex Ole Miss cheerleader, I wondered.

But I doubt seriously Thad is interested in Starkburg. He'd much rather retire to Oxford.

I'm what some on this site describe as a 'TEA-Party type' and thoroughly sick of Cochran. However - we conservatives need to learn how to USE primaries instead of letting disputes in primaries USE US. The poll, regardless of whether it is respected source or not, sounds great. Start of a battle. And instead of Demonizing people we need to Criticize & Expose specific votes & actions & positions. Then when we get the ‘best’ candidate, join hands and elect him/her without regard for what was exposed under the assumption that the most conservative candidate POSSIBLE TO ELECT has been selected. That is the main objection of many TEA-Party members to the ‘knighting by the party’ which we’ve experienced in the past – it is NOT up to the party to suppress primary action. Go Chris!!

10:56- Yes, primaries are where we choose our nominees. However, if we did it a little more carefully Republicans could have a majority in the Senate right now. Look back at Colorado, Missouri, Indiana, Delaware and Nevada as just a few examples over the past 2 election cycles.

But as Jim Demint says, he'd rather have 40 "principled conservatives." Of course having just 40 members gets you things like Obamacare.

Thad has been great for the state. Recently he was one of the voices of reason in the senate, unlike like some filibustering senators. Thad on the ag committee has been good for the state's farmers and agriculture business. We do not need another tea party senator in the senate--we need a compromiser who can work both sides of the aisle and get something accomplished, unlike those that shut down the government and accomplished nothing. I am sure that Chris is a good guy but show us something first. Show us you can lead and be a person who can work with all types of people. I hope Thad runs again-for the good of the state.

if we did it a little more carefully ...

Code for if we elected more big spending, big debt, big government RINOs.

Compromiser = Appeaser of Donkeys

In my opinion it is time for Thad to retire. I've not been real happy with the way he has voted on somethings here lately. I believe it is time for some new blood in DC not only from MS but from all states.

Thanks 11:51, you guys are nuts, really. First of all, if Thad runs he wins. Get over it, I think he needs to come home, but that doesn't matter. You idiots who say compromise is = democrat appeaser really need help, you really do, I'm serious. You people gave us Obamacare, not the idiots of the left. You guys are doing this. Anybody who puts his kids in the outfits that McDaniel dressed his up in, needs help as well.

I think its funny how the TEA-partiers tout Chris McDaniel, purely because he's read the Constitution. Just because I can quote scripture, doesn't make me a saint.

Thad has a major house on a Big lake just outside of Oxford

4:09pm, ok, and so Haley has a big house on a lake in Yazoo County,or some po-dunk delta county, and one in DC, and probably one in Bejing since he lobbies for the Red Chinese government, and maybe one in Mexico City since he lobbies for the Mexican government, and so your point is???

Conservatives gave the country Obamacare? 3:25 PM is going to need that mental health coverage.

If Chris McDaniel really wants to change things in Washington he should move to the 2nd Congressional District and beat Bennie. Or move to Nevada and run against Harry Reid.

Exactly what votes has Cochran made that are so offensive?

Exactly what votes has Cochran made that are so offensive?

The Short List of offensive votes. Cochran is seen as the King of Pork in Israel, too. According to Former Congresman James A. Traficant, Israel receives a yearly stipend in excess of $20,000,000,000through economic and military aide and forgiven loans, not the $3,000,000,000 cited by the MSM.

This is not news...Everyone in the know, realizes that the PPP is a democratic leaning poll...the dems of course would prefer an extreme radical candidate to run against rather than Thad...

Mcdanyell winning the republican primary is like is like that Witch lady, unable to beat a Dem in the end. We need a moderate like Hozeman that can compromise and win in November.

Hozeman will be drawing his social security by then

And Delbert has done such a good job with the Secretary of State's office. Our elections have been so smooth and flawless since he's been in office. No court cases or anything, right?

As a democrat, I hope y'all choose McDaniel. That way Hood or Childers wins in the fall. Go Chris!!!! The whole "I am not going bring any federal money to one of the poorest states in the country" platform is great!! A sure winner!

6:52, so the way to beat Cochran is running ads that he voted to support Isreal over Iran and funded our troops? He is as good as gone if so********

All democrats hope McDaniel is the candidate, so he can get pounded in the general election. They'll even cross over vote in the primary to make that happen. Lots of republicans will sit out of a general if Mr. McNeverDoneNothingDaniel is their candidate.

Childers couldn't win regardless of who he's running against. Hood is likely the only one who could.

Other than that, would be something like 53-56 for the Republican.

But when Republicans are trying to retake the Senate, it is ridiculous that we are worrying about Mississippi.

November 21, 2013 at 1:09 PM = loves the RINO parade

Just whose hat has Thad Cochran been wearing in Congress for the past thirty plus years? How is Arming David in the national interest of the US? Jimmy Carter should have listened to brother Billy on US foreign policy.

Seen your kind before Pug. You try hard to hide it but you can't control it.

Im for Chris McDaniel and don't know anyone holding office now that I would vote for over Sen. McDaniel for this Job.... I think Thad will run, and he has been Ok,, but Ok and politicking and making money for select orations and expanding government spending and regulatons is not good for all people.
