Jackson Jambalaya

By starting the discussion, McDaniel has served his purpose. Hopefully Cochran will announce his decision soon and, assuming he decides to leave, we can get on with the business of identifying real candidates for that seat.

Chris can win against Thad!

Thad will not debate him.

Delbert & Stacey are getting nervous.

I like Delbert Hosemann.

Think he's done a pretty good job as SOS.

But the RINO garbage he was tooting on statewide GOP radio this week really turned me off.

He was openly condescending about conservatives.

So much so that I had to wonder if he has developed a tin ear there in Jackson.

This McDaniel guy is such a joke no one takes him seriously in the legislature. One republican senator refers to him as OUR INFO-MERCIAL member!

Chris is a serious candicate and I'd say at this point he had the momentum. Thad has served his purpose. Time for some fresh new ideas. I'm with Chris McDaniel.

I am for Thad. He is no raving idiot wanting to destroy the country's economy and closing down the government when it will accomplish nothing. Thad has shown that he will work with Republicans and Democrats. Working together is the only way to govern--one faction cannot always get what they want. I was amused the r day when I read that Marshall County Republican Committee censured Thad for many reasons with one of the reasons being that he supported aid to the Hurricane Sandy victims. What would have happened to Mississippi if we had not received aid after Hurricanes Camille and Katrina plus others? Some of the tea baggers (some?)are completely crazy!!! Chris has not shown me that he is up to the task of being a US Senator.

Awesome. McDaniel's family has shown up to voice their support. At least, I hope y'all are his family because no educated voter has any reason to jump on the McDaniel little red wagon (let's be honest - bandwagons are much larger) at this stage.

I can respect there being an "Anyone But Cochran (ABC)" crowd, but y'all look like a bunch of forking idiots backing McDaniel if you're not blood relatives.

I agree. I will not vote for Thad if he decides to run again. Too many years, too many lies. I want a conservative representing me.

The jokes are Hoseman & Pickering.

Look at how the Secretary of State handled Canton and Hattiesburg.

Read this blogs coverage of Stacey's work with DMR and fundraising

I'm for Chris. He's the real deal.

When will you right wingnuts realize how futile your efforts are. That spiel is OVER. Thad Cochran could not get elected today, nor could Ronald Reagan, if you Tea Party "my way or the Phuck you" people chose. You people are nuts. I am what you people call a RINO. and am proud of it....as is Chris Christie.

Grow up.

The real deal, fucking lightweight, publicity whore.

Let me get this straight: After roughly a decade of portraying the plaintiffs' bar as a corrupt bunch of wealth redistributionists, you right-wingers are uniting behind one of its wealthiest members to take down Thad Cochran?

Spectacular.

this is not NJ

Christie will NEVER get elected POTUS. NEVER.

Wow a bunch of know it alls, who would have thought that?

Boys and girls that is why we line up and play ball.

The winners in this are the citizens, we get to look at the candidates and choose. It is the first time since Mississippians have been able to have a choice, good or bad.

I think it is great. I hope more get in...

Don't give McDaniel that much credit. He is not a member of the plaintiff's bar. I am.

I've practiced againt him many times, and 99% of his practice is defending business against civil lawsuits. His firm has been an insurance defense firm for decades.

Chris and I disagree politically, but he's intelligent and a damn fine lawyer. I wish him the best.

Good to finally see a post about Chris. I have no doubt that at least one of the above anonymous commenters above is a GOP County Chairman who is violating the party bylaws by campaigning for Thad.

You think Thad or any of his people have been in contact with the County Chairmen?

And who are his people?
Thad has been so removed from anything that resembles grass roots.
