Just as Harvey Johnson was Election Man; maybe Sens. McDaniel and Watson could be a Batman and Robin type team - the Election Integrity Team!

Surprised they didn't add the Carol Gartin Justice Building so they could call for truth and justice on the court house steps after the bench-slap that just issued.

Oh joy.

McDaniel could save himself and his campaign a lot of money and just call this off. I can't imagine an area of the state where anyone wants to see him. No one wants to see him on the Coast; he's not popular in the Metro Jackson area or Tupelo. Maybe he could just go to Desoto County - some might want to see him there - no, not really!

"Bench-slap." Love the play on words, 2:21.

Though I still support his efforts to challenge, I think the bulk of the problems that will be revealed are flaws in the Mississippi election laws, and not so much the runoff specifically. Mississippi's Boss Hogg, Haley Barbour, knew how to use them to meet his end--which had more to do with his lobbying objectives and not Mississippi as a whole. The idea of this "Tour" suggest tome that McDaniel is trying to establish himself as a "Tea Party" leader and/or conservative talking head like Palin or Santorum. He will likely hang on as long as the press keeps interested and they chase after some other "shiny" thing. If he shows up as a Fox News contributor or right wing radio host don't be surprised. IMHO

Michael Watson is making a complete fool of himself running around the state acting as Batshitcrazyman's sidekick. He has a wife with 2 kids at home and bills to pay. Unless he is being paid by the campaign he has lost significant earnings. He needs to get his suit and two white shirts together and head back to Pascagoula where the drinking water is brown, the air stinky and the living is easy. He should have know from being at Ole Miss you cannot go up against the machine and win.

I am starting to admire this guy for the courage and not giving up. Don't you want people in Washington that can stand up to the old mules? It reminds me of the filibuster and Jimmy Stewart movie.... very passionate...or do you want someone that sleeps and nods with a blood pressure that probably never rises above 60/20? Most likely the same bloggers noted above as they are not intelligent enough to use various verbiage. These young green-eared twit bloggers don't care about anything but their future political careers or it's one of those contractors, big landowners, realtors, or developers that fill their fat pockets with one of the opponent's grant funding for the rich schemes.......or I left out a group --those unfortunate people that had to go to the voting booth on canes and walkers for a measly 15 bucks that they so badly needed. So sad. but just my little ole' 'pinion.

238 quit speaking for everyone.

No JcJc victory lap? Have the Jones County faithful failed Bro Chris? Or have they already sent in their love gift for a prayer cloth from "the ministry". Now will Bro Chris be laying on hands and dancing with rattlesnakes at these tour stops or will he just bring a word from The Lord to the faithful? Praise be. His rod and staff will comfort thee.

As a non-native of Mississippi I know that I have little credibility when discussing sensitive issues such as politics and race. However, after observing both at close range for the last 20 years I can offer the following critique of the state I call home. Despite the common stereotypes that plague southern states, Mississippians are among the proudest, kindest and most generous people I have met anywhere in the country. That is why it is particularly discouraging to be the focus of national attention (and ridicule) regarding the current Senate election and growing legal bedlam. In the spirit of full disclosure, I voted for Thad Cochran (twice). I voted for him because his years of experience and seniority in Congress matter. I voted for him because of his voting record on legislative issues of economic and diplomatic importance. I voted for him because he was able to secure federal assistance that allowed MS to recover from the worst natural disaster in history. It disappointed me greatly to hear his name and reputation disparaged by national interest groups during the primary campaigns. It perplexes me that numerous conservative Republican voters have replaced their direct knowledge and experience with slanderous propaganda. But for the tireless efforts of Thad Cochran and then-Gov. Barbour, the State of Mississippi would today resemble a third-word country (think Haiti post-earthquake). It is also sad to see the remnants of economic, social and racial division evident in the tone of many comments.
I did not vote for Chris McDaniel because effective government requires more than simplistic talking-points and positions. All citizens (and parties) submit to the same Constitution. I pray with my children at church and home. I think that A.C.A. was poorly executed legislation but I am thankful that my daughter can never be denied health coverage due to her “previous condition.” I do not regard Democrats as criminals or child-sacrificing pagans. Now before anyone writes me off as just one more of those RINO’s, I want you to understand that I share an opposition to the current Administration and leadership in the Senate. Privacy rights, the national debt, illegal immigration and Iraq (ad nauseam) all continue to be severely mismanaged. However, Republicans will never again have a meaningful voice in those matters if there are not enough votes. It is basic math and the 2012 presidential election verified it: until the GOP can attract numbers from the growing minority demographic, it will continue to serve as the political minority. The MS Senate race is a symptom of the larger national discourse and the conservative Republicans continue to shoot themselves in the foot with obstructive tactics – instead of constructive cooperation. I did not vote for Chris McDaniel because he regards political compromise with “liberals” as an act of surrender – despite their inalienable rights afforded by the Constitution he reveres. This is not a position of nobility, civility or morality. It is not the path to “government of the people, for the people, by the people.”

Thanks for a rational, sane comment. If the ideologues ignore your nuggets of wisdom and sound advice, they are their own worst enemy, & they deserve their plight and worse.

You who are whining and pouting are teaching your kids and grandkids how to be immature punks whenever they don't get their way. How will that help them?

If you have no self-awareness, you'll embarrass yourself and your loved ones, and never realize you've done it. At least pretend you're mature in front of your kids. They're watching you, and you are harming their future if you don't teach them to think about things other than getting their own way right now, despite the rights of others that you are willing to trample.

By the way, acting the fool as a closed-minded buffoon without any self-reflection is a losing strategy at any age. You're not the great American Patriots that you fantasize about yourself being, but especially pitiful for an adult. Several of you are just being a dick and a loser because we can't put you in time out. Think! Or don't, and folks will continue to ridicule your behavior. If people are laughing at you, there's usually a good reason, and denying responsibility for your behavior just makes you appear ignorant and weaker no matter how you try to puff yourself up and prove them wrong about you.

Change takes courage. Anybody can behave as a stubborn, spoiled brat after they've reached the age of four. It doesn't make one admirable or a leader. Bottom line: If you can't control yourself, do yourself and your family a favor and keep your sorry ass at home and pout alone.

Want to see how the rest of the country sees the image of Chris McDaniel and his ignorant redneck TeaBaggin' supporters?

Watch this video of Chris' incredibly stupid bagger soulmate from Arizona, another lying hypocrite and demagogue out promoting himself by stirring up shit, not at all unlike Pastor Pretender from Jones County.

This goofball not only steps in it and pours a bucket of it on his head, but he makes fools out of his supporters while crippling his own campaign. And he's deservedly the biggest laughing stock in the country until people hear about McDaniel's Travelling Tent Revival & Serpent-Handling Show to raise money so McDaniel can promote himself, make a few bucks, and get a RW fringer talk show. There will be an opportunity to make a special blove-offering for his Teabag Suckers, er, Supporters that don't want Blah People voting, becuz that is illegal. Anyway, here it is:

These baggers are gonna have to learn the hard way that NOT ALL PUBLICITY IS GOOD PUBLICITY.

6:16; Only the terminally bored and those looking for a comet upon which to hook their laziness would ever bother to read crap that lengthy. (that's debate rule number 1)

Blog rule number 6 is 'never follow up your own post with a post congratulating yourself'.

7:03 Rule Number 3 - never let your opponents know you have the attention span of a two-year old.

6:16 made valid points, very eloquently.

Was there no one at last night's tour stop to share with us how inspirational/laughable/whatever the event was?

7/17@616 go back to where you came from. Most likely you are a recipient of one of his grant funding schemes. Mooch off someone else.

7/18 @703. Ditto! Was some "ocd" political staff member- probably Beiber.
