Citizens United just lost all credibility.

Color me skeptical, but one result of all this coverage may be potential voters going, Oh, there's someone running against Cochran?

I have not read the Supreme Court case, but I assume that this is not a left-of-center organization, or even center-of-center, but is of the way-over-right persuasion. So far from the center as to be delusional.

A lot of Sen. Cochran's votes will come from Independents, and from Democrats who will support the much lesser evil.

I believe the Sojourner incident just changed those polling numbers.

credible polls show Cochran with a significant lead, almost 20%

McDaniel's campaign is floundering under inept chairwoman and communications director. If this is the best he can hire for a campaign, imagine what his staff would look like in dc.

Like the poll the NRSC said was credible which showed Thad comfortably ahead? You know, the one where almost 60% of those polled were 66 years of age or older? Like that poll?

What isn't credible is your comment.

I received a call from this "poll". It is nothing but a 'push poll' where the questions are loaded to provide a desired, almost automatic result.

If this was a credible poll, they would release the crosstabs, demos, and the questions. Since it is by an organization in the tank for McDaniel, and the poll asked questions almost as bad as "if you knew that Cochran was a babyraper, would you vote for him or the highly respected, intelligent McDaniel?"

Color this poll worthless except for the purposes which McDaniel is using it.

Any smart Democrats (I know, oxymoron) will be voting McDaniel in the primary.

66 or older - oh, you mean the age group MOST LIKELY TO TURN OUT IN A NON-PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION?

Guess what Chester - 2014 is not a presidential election year.

Sucks to be you, don't it?

Our biased assuming poll that cherry picked numbers in which to call found that ".............Fill in blank............".
Other demographics need not apply for they are NOT of our political persuasion.

^^^^^^^^^
The truth of the matter :-)

Do some of you actually believe enough people read these blogs to actually move the needle in a poll or an election? Only three in ten registered voters will go to the polls (and that's a high estimate) but only one in 20 who go to the polls will ever have heard of this crap with St. Catherine's.

Not familiar with this poll - never heard of it ....
The polling I watch is Real Clear Politics -

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/latest_polls/senate/#
It currently shows Chocran ahead by 17 points ......

Relax people, they're going to have the primary just in case the poll isn't correct.

As to <66 demographic not showing at the polls. Many 20 & 30 something's I know will be showing up in June. We don't really appreciate getting stuck with your health bills when you control 65% of the wealth.

McDaniel's got this thing wrapped up....assuming he can keep all minorities, people over the age of 50, those with a high school diploma and most women away from the polls. Otherwise, those Jesus in schools-they takin mah gun-ain't payin no mo' taxes group got this in the bank.

8:08 is right. Some of us are sick and tired of taking care of old people. They need to start pulling their own weight.

You know what they say about damn lies and statistics, but here's the thing:

It's plain that Cochran's puppeteers and beneficiaries are VERY concerned. They are pulling out all the stops. I haven't seen this much of Haley Barbour since Katrina!

I'm sure Trent Lott will resurface shortly. Trent's the only good ol' boy from The Establishment who isn't working crowds on Cochran's behalf now...

except Cochran himself.

Here comes that ED problem again Alan.

6:50 axed: "Do you believe you personally possess a superior intellect versus the rest of the readers of JJ?"

Not really. But, what's that got to do with the fact that a blog is a fart in a whirlwind when it comes to pushing the needle in an election representing half the state. You got a point to make, make it.

Wow, a decent piece of journalism from the CL. Amazing.

It's actually the most plausible version of events I've heard. Only a nutjob or a dumb 20-something wanna-be would pull a stunt like this without realizing how badly it could backfire and how easily he could be caught.

I don't have many nice things to say about either campaign, but I do believe they are both smart enough to steer clear of something that low.

So, basically, you've got a woody going to straighten out the people here at the fart-in-a-whirlwind blog. Did you get a rush?

Ahh 10:51; That you, again, Kingfish? I know Gallo thinks his show actually 'molds people's lives' and that the program touches the most well educated and important slice of the Mississippi population, so it's only natural you would think the same.

I am waiting for the avalanche of "stories" from okra, anderson cooper, woffie blitzed, ellen degenerate and ed "my head is way big for my body" shultz on thad's longtime girlfriend. um, I bet if Rand Paul or ted cruz were in thad's predicament the aforesaid left wing loonies would be all over it.

I am a Democrat and I will be voting for McDaniel. I want the senate seat back and feel he gives us the best chance to get it.

Anonymous said...

I was polled. It was a joke.
It was almost " you wouldn't vote for Cochran, would you?"

twecrs1 , that is a very risky strategy in this state. I'd hate for us to end up with McDaniel who'll make us, yet again, the laughing stock of the nation.

6:28, BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Damn, we should be honored that someone from 'the family' is posting. Good job, straight off the talking points. But you forgot to yell FIRE at the end. No bonus for you.

4:10 nailed it exactly. "A lot of Sen. Cochran's votes will come......from Democrats who will support the much lesser evil."

And what do Democrats consider evil? CONSERVATIVE. LESS GOVERNMENT. STOP OBAMACARE. STOP WASTEFUL SPENDING.

9:15, I was wondering if anyone else was thinking exactly what you said re Katrina.

Anonymous said...

What I find funny is all you idiots thinking either one of these candidates will do anything for the this state. As long as money is electing politicians you can forget them ever doing anything for their constituents. Special interest groups and lobbyist will determine how these men vote. Not the people. The reason they can smear on both sides is that there is plenty to smear about on both sides. Pick your poison people.

Remember Alan if you experience temporary blindness you need to stop taking the pills.

Democrats crossing to vote for McDaniel help Bill Marcy immeasurably.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug.
