YAY!! Let a little sunshine in so we may all see the fraud which took place for Cochran to snare a faux victory on June 24th and for McDaniel to have been declined his victory on June 03rd too!

Challenge Time = Party Time!!

Break up the Mississippi GOP establishment bull malarkey, Chris McDaniel! Break it up!

Oh, and ignore all the whiners on this site who cry about the fact you are doing what is the legally right thing to do!

I was never a McDaniel fan and I didn't vote for him. This November I plan to vote Democratic for the first time since 1976. The shameful tactics of the GOP-Cochran crowd are an embarrassment.

If my vote keeps Harry Reid in power, so be it. The Ms GOP is amoral. I can no longer vote with them as the less of two evils.

If the Certification Process required by Mississippi Statute is followed, and the McDaniel Challange is upheld, will this Certification work against his being the Republican Candidate in November?

This will be my first time to vote democrat since 1978- I guess vote the lesser of the two evils- but at least the democratic candidate has been a gentlemen and does not glow with such arrogance. But I tell you what ....the Democratic Party needs to get involved in this too as illegal voting could impact the Democratic results as well. Sooo Travis.....if you are reading this, you need to partner with CM at least make sure that the right thing is done in November-- for your sake. Maybe by Chris paving the way for an ethical voting standard, it will change the voting results in November------so you can thank Chris for implementing this when you win. Also don't forget to thank the Cochran campaign committee for allowing the TP guy to bring this to our attention. (Even though CM is doing the right thing, most likely he has figured he will not hold the senator position as the money machine is too big for him but I do respect and admire ANYONE that has passion for doing what is ethical) . Personally, I would not want to win anything by cheating or by unethical means. Go Chris we are with you!

Yeah Chris. Thanks for being such a swell guy. You remind me of Wally Cleaver, or is it Eddie Haskell?

Just curious 3:11 ethical or illegal? Please re-state you opinion about Travis and arrogance when you meet with him and talk (too bad you didn't know him when he held local office having lunch with Joey Langston) I am having a hard time understanding what is wrong with a registered voter voting during an election? My thoughts and opinions are mine, how does anyone know what I hold for a candidate.

Last point someone please define a Reagan Democrat.

This is the same letter that is sent for every election. It's cute that you still have hope.

"I'm goint to show how conservative I am by voting for a Democrat!"

Wut?

@1:31 and @3:11, are you both f'in kidding me? How can you both be SO misguided??? I voted for McDaniel twice, because I didn't think Thad was the man for the job any longer....and I still don't! That being said, if it's found Chris was legally defeated - in whatever unseemly way - it would border on insanity for me to now consider voting for the democrat!! That's so incredibly short-sighted it almost escapes words! Why do Republicans / Conservatives continue to make the same HUGE mistakes over, and over, and over? It defies logic! If you're a fan of Harry Reid and President ObaMAO, then vote for the person who will certainly further their agenda (i.e., Travis Childers). However, if you see the rare opportunity that's before us - that is, to take back the Senate and hopefully further impede ObaMAO's destruction of this country - then you should perform the selfLESS act of voting for the man (irrespective of whether you like him or support him) that may allow the Republicans to regain the control of the Senate. It's time to get over being butthurt and do the right thing for our COUNTRY, not yourself!

All of this should be so apparent to any non-democrat that it's hard to believe it even needs to be said. However, over the last week, I've seen too many Republicans standing in our far-too-familiar circular firing squad, so people need to be shaken awake.

If Chris is found to have been LEGALLY beaten, all you whiners need to shut the hell up (about this election, anyway) and vote for the remaining man (Republican) who can help the democrats LOSE the Senate. To hell with Cochran, the point is, we can no longer survive the current onslaught from the democrats. It just so happens that Cochran may be our only hope for protection from their further reign......just remember, when all is said and done, either Childers or Cochran will be the next Senator from the State of Mississippi, and it's PREPOSTEROUS to claim that Childers is the same as / is better than the Republican!!!!! That's what we said in 2006 (and we got Nancy Pelosi and set up the perfect storm for ObaMAO) and that's what we said in 2012 (and we've now got the tragedy that is ObaMAOCare).

People, WAKE UP! This is a much bigger issue than Mississippi! I hate what happened in the Mississippi election, but the eventual ramifications are national! Just think what happens if - God forbid - we lose a conservative justice on the Supreme Court. Will a democrat Senate be acceptable then? I submit, it absolutely will not be.

Think, think, think. Don't give this election to the democrats because you're butthurt. Be a thinking adult and VOTE in November, and vote Republican!

These duffusses who claim they've had enough and are going to now vote Democrat...Who gives a rat's ass who you vote for? If you're enough of a mental midget to base your life decisions on such idiocy, you deserve the irrelevance you invite upon yourself. Your momma probably made imitation banana puddin' too.

"I'll show them all. I'm gonna vote for 'pencil-thin'" What a hoot!

State GOP certification on Tuesday July 1st at 2:00 pm. I guess the fireworks for the 4th will start early this year.

5:47p.m.....haley, that you? hmmmmm, must be worried about your meal ticket. well, y'all shoulda thought about that before you trashed the party. dinky danks and mayor mary oughta charge y'all with elder abuse for dragging that tired old man around everywhere, making him run for office when he didn't want to...

We welcome all of you to the Democratic party.

5:47 pm They aren't kidding.

They just don't understand.

They don't want to understand.

They will believe what they want to be true despite any and all evidence or rational arguments to the contrary.

It's called " denial". It is particularly strong in " right fighters".

They will burn the barn down rather than admit they made an error in construction.

Or else they are the folks that will follow a charismatic leader if it means sacrificing their children.

6:10. Vote for the Democrat. Do you idiots not understand that the NATIONAL TAKE on the election of Childers will be the "fault of or reason given" you stupid TP's.

Have balls TP's. Do it. Elect Childers. That will be the best thing EVER to bury your dumb asses nationally. Good God Does anybody over there have brains and not just testosterone??

The Cochran campaign paid for ads claiming McDaniel had Klan ties.
People on this website tell McDaniel supporter they are nuts and/or Nazis.
McDaniel's supporters are told to leave the GOP and vote independent.
If you don't care about these people now perhaps if Childers gets 185,000 votes no one expected then maybe these people will not be marginalized by their own party.

It's when the Tea Party focuses on policy that it sounds best. But when they get off track and into tactics like voting for Childers as the less of two evils, that's when they lose people. Less government, less taxes, balanced budgets, and free markets are things people can believe in. But, when they start sounding like fanatics with irrational tactics and extreme messaging strewn with runaway emotions, that's when they sound like a bunch of nuts. Vote for Childers and hand Harry Reid the senate???? That's nuts. And it's something that doesn't attract people to the Tea Party.

@5:47...welcome to Recent History 101. The Dems came into power in 2006 because W completely turned off conservatives with his "big tent" republicanism that brought Medicare Part D, No Child Left Behind and that conservative wunderkind John Roberts. Obama was brought about because Rove, Hayley, Thad and every other go along to get along Republican said ONLY John McCain could beat Obama, only a left of center Republican could reach out to enough voters to beat Obama then hit repeat in 2012 with an even weaker candidate who was too exhausted from destroying the personal reputation of every Republican candidate to stand up to Obama.

One interesting tidbit from the Stevens article. McDaniel didn't campaign until the Saturday after the primary. That is pretty telling and I believe gives insight to the entire McDaniel team. In their minds, the runoff was a mere formality. They had it won. I bet senior staff were already googling apartments in DC. Completely blindsided by last Tuesday they have, in effect been throwing a week long temper tantrum. I was talking to my 80 year old mom earlier tonight. First thing out of her mouth. "You know, he's never going to be able to run for anything again." Too bad those around the candidate obviously have no wisdom.

It was interesting that the 50th Anniversary of the Freedom Summer was celebrated this weekend and recently in the Media. Also interesting that we observe a very strange dichotomy between black and white voters. And also how that correlates to MS and who is Democrat and who is Repupublican and how they voted and/or could "legally " vote in a primary. Are there any Colin Powells, Condoleeza Rices, Ben Carson's, TJ Watts, Etc. that might be a doctor, engineer, academic, farmer, etc. that is Black and a fan of Cochran? I think their are. The Democrat party for decades in MS was run by whites and here we find ourselves in a pickle. People have the right to vote for who they want and they have the right to change their mind. Please respect that right to vote. This is not about individuals, this about making MS a better place.

@815...Nothing that happened last week honors the Freedom Summer participants. In fact, those African American voters went and voted for a man who was a Ross Barnett democrat that summer. Thad was on campus when Ole Miss was integrated, I don't recall seeing any pictures of Thad arm in arm with him pushing for integration...my guess is Thad was showing off some of his old cheerleading skills with his Rebel flag when Ross Barnett gave his I love Mississippi speech

One of the methods of challenging someone voting in EITHER party's primary is asking them if they will support that party's nominee in the general election, no matter who the nominee is. Those of you that supported and voted for McDaniel and are now pledging to vote Childers in November are breaking the very rule about which you are so upset. Stop and think: Why did voters turn out Childers after just one term in the House of Representative? Now you want him in the Senate? I don't think so!

"I bet senior staff were already googling apartments in DC. Completely blindsided by last Tuesday they have, in effect been throwing a week long temper tantrum."

Bingo. Everyone (myself included) thought McDaniel had this thing in the bag after June 3. But after the primary a lot of Cochran supporters who stayed home on June 3 came out on June 23, in addition to many black crossover votes (who were prodded by what were allegedly "dirty tricks").

I say all this as a Democrat who cast a vote for Cochran. TL; DR -- McDaniel's not going to stop fighting for this; he feels like he deserves it, and tbh I see where he's coming from. At any rate, here's to hoping he spends all his political capital and never becomes anything more than a two-bit state senator from backwoods county USA.

@8:00 the same stuart stevens that orchestrated the Romney defeat. give me a break

I don't think I have ever read a post on this website that disagreed with the Tea Party that did not include the word "nuts" or some other derogatory term.
I wonder if the establishment GOP is so bankrupt for ideas that all they can do is engage in name calling.

8:15 Is that your list of "good ones?" Always fun to see a certain segment of our society reel off the same few blah people they like.

8:15 it's good to see a certain element of our society reel off that same list of "good ones."

I'm guessing McDaniel is hoping to turn this failed campaign into a paycheck of some sorts. Maybe as a consultant or a radio gig, who knows. The election battle
was really waged between the PAC, Club for Growth, and
the mainline Republican Party. The Koch brothers are the
force behind the PAC and if the Tea Partiers think McDaniel was going to represent them instead of doing the Koch brothers bidding, they were mistaken.

Don't overlook it:

Gotnews.com

5:08a.m......why not? ALL news media in this state and ALL elected officials sure will....

p.s.the breitbart story is a little better....who knows, maybe they'll just throw little Kirk sims under the bus along with the black guy saleem Baird

First; Kingfish must be dining at Primos this morning.

Second; Hello Dunce! McDaniel doesn't include an 's' at the end of his name.

Third; Cackruns is in deep shit now.

Do not go to GOTNEWS.COM

Do believe that gotnews.com is CHUCKIE'S newslink. Don't go there and give him the respect of reviewing his lies, distortions and idiocies. A basic google search shows that this is his "newly launched newslink".

He's being paid for by the National TP, for his work, it appears.

Chuckie -- glad you're reading our post (see above the anonymous post ("Don't overlook it: gotnews.com" and others), however, believe it or not, we can google too!

It's funny to read Tea Party people objecting to name calling.

Funnier still to see them complain about fact based ads ( McDaniel has a close relative and contributors with a history in the Klan) when their ads ( like Thad voting for the stimulus and the Busby robocall) were outright lies.

When some of your members/McDaniel supporters post outrageous beliefs like there was a Democratic runoff after the primary and that an adult can be " driven" to suicide( and worse ,accuse others by name of doing that)...

When the first politicizing of a tragedy is by Tea Party people...

When you defend the break in at St Catherine's and worse, blame St Catherine's and clearly know nothing about the facility...

When you assume that there are no black Republicans or conservatives or anyone simply not in town for the primary who were eligible to vote in the runoff ...

When you post garbled extractions you claim are from the US Census as proof that whites are more educated and suggest blacks were manipulated and misled into crossover voting for Cochran because they are stupid...

When you say you are never going to vote for a Republican again but say in the same breath you are conservative...

When you continue to claim soliciting crossover votes is somehow illegal and unethical when the Tea Party has done the same...

You trash Madison's mayor and every GOP office holder and party official in the state with accusations of wrong doing without any offer of proof and yet your candidate ran as a Republican.

KF posted the only outrageous Cochran campaign tactic...the flyers. I didn't see Cochran supporters defending those. And, I didn't see Cochran supporters saying Pete wasn't drinking and driving either.

And, add to the above that McDaniel supporters have evidenced in their comments little understanding of the election process, how Congress functions or how government,in general, functions. You imagine the impossible or unrealistic far too often.

If you don't like people thinking you are " nuts" or " crazy" then stick to the facts and don't defend bad behaviors and don't believe things that aren't true and stop the behavior associated with sore losers ( I'm taking my marbles and leaving) and offer specific proposals for solutions to that you don't like!

"I bet senior staff were already googling apartments in DC"

I'm thinking they would all have lived in Virginia to stay in the Confederacy. They don't believe in public transportation so anywhere near Metro is socialist. Maybe out in Manassas for the symbolism and to be outside the Beltway and away from the immigrant enclaves closer in.

Of course if Childers is elected the GOP establishment will blame the Tea Party, and rightly so. The GOP will then have a choice: continue to ostracize the TP and become the Whigs of the 21th Century, or, to cut out the dirty lies of their radio ads and flyers and view the TPs as allies and start winning elections.

8:22 appears to be the nut and goofball around here. How about sources rather than exaggerations?

Props to Joe Nosef for putting out an accurate statement on vote certification and challenge procedures. I think his public statements since election day have been balanced and fair to all sides. He seems to get the difficulty of the task ahead for the party and deserves some credit for trying to ratchet things down a few notches.

If the TP people that want to make sure the coutry goes to hell by refusing to help beat the Democrats and letting Obama get a liberal Supreme Court then here is an aritle by Sowell to read. We have got to get the 51 votes. Swallow any resentment and stop this coming disaster if Obama appoints another liberal judge and the Democrats have 51 vote to confirm.

America's Birthday!

Thomas Sowell




All is not lost. But all could be lost -- especially if too many of us take freedom for granted and focus our attention on other things, while ignoring such dangers as nuclear weapons in the hands of suicidal fanatics, with a track record of savagery, whom we are too squeamish to call anything stronger than "militants."
Nor are all the dangers abroad.


Within our own country there are all too many signs of people blithely ready to sacrifice the interests or freedom of Americans for the sake of symbolism or passing fashions.


When a former Speaker of the House of Representatives announces that she is going down to our border to greet and welcome masses of people crossing that border illegally, you know that something is fundamentally wrong.





No one knows, or apparently cares, how many of these "children" include teenage criminal gangs to whom murder is no big deal. Worst of all, no one knows, or apparently cares, that the elected representatives of the American people were cut out of the loop when it came to making these decisions.


All that matters to people like Nancy Pelosi is the symbolism of welcoming the oppressed, especially if they represent more votes for Democrats, who will shower the taxpayers' money on them.


As if to make clear the elite's contempt for ordinary Americans' intelligence, President Obama tells us that the people crossing the border "love" America. How could he possibly know that, any more than he could know how to "invest" the taxpayers' money in "the industries of the future," which have in fact gone bankrupt?


What is involved are not just bad policy choices. What is involved are policies imposed unilaterally by the President, in defiance of Congress' authority to legislate and in contempt of the Constitution's separation of powers -- on which all our freedoms ultimately depend.


The people who wrote the Constitution of the United States understood what dangers there are to the freedom of the people -- and that freedom can be quietly eroded by degrees, rather than taken all at once.


Too many people today seem oblivious to such dangers. So what if the government used the muscle of the Internal Revenue Service to keep groups opposed to the Obama administration tied up in red tape or litigation in an election year? Enough games like that can make our elections meaningless.


This arrogant abuse of power does not end with the federal government. In Massachusetts, teenager Justina Pelletier was taken from her parents' custody and held virtually incommunicado for over a year, because her parents preferred to continue to have her treated as the physicians at a medical facility associated with Tufts University had treated her,


Fortunately, enough media attention, especially by former governor Mike Huckabee on Fox News Channel, finally got this child freed. Perhaps we can hope that all is not lost -- yet. But if this case is a symbol of Americans fighting back, it is also a symbol of why it is desperately important to fight back.


That spirit is the best birthday present for America.

Is the governor so hasty to "certify" the votes so that McyD can't challenge? Is the governor pushing so hard for Sen. Cochran because Cochran will retire as soon as he starts his term and then the governor gets to put in whomever he wants? This is what i had heard, dont know if its true.

The Cochran campaign paid for ads claiming McDaniel had Klan ties.
People on this website tell McDaniel supporter they are nuts and/or Nazis.
McDaniel's supporters are told to leave the GOP and vote independent.
If you don't care about these people now perhaps if Childers gets 185,000 votes no one expected then maybe these people will not be marginalized by their own party.

7:01 for the win. Failing that, I guess we could continue the definition of insanity, and then wonder why nothing ever changes.

All these TP nuts who are vowing to vote for a Dem after voting in the Repub runoff - did they somehow miss about a million posts recently FROM THEIR OWN TEAM pointing out that it is illegal to vote in a party runoff unless you intend to vote in November for the winner of the runoff.

I guess they figure they are above the law because, you know, they report directly to God or something. Hypocrites.

@ July 2, 2014 at 10:08 AM

Since when did we ever see all of those Dems cross over and vote in a Republican Run-off...? Especially if they already voted on June 03rd? Bah! That is double voting and it is illegal!

However, they are suppose to stick with Thad in November. I say, let them stick with him.

Anyone who didn't vote for him owes him NOTHING and I am not giving another wasted vote...!

Travis Childers, are you ready for your B I G win in November? It's coming because we McDaniel supporters have had enough of Thad and his jackass supporters.

Enjoy your glee today, Cochran supporters and Cochran and staff. Tomorrow, we laugh last!
