Cochran's campaign is lashing out. Yesterday morning there was a spat started by Henry Barbour unleashed upon a breitbart.com journalist. Barbour was very unprofessional...He started the name calling and didn't respond to questions by the journalist. Instead, he continued to name call. *SMH*

The Greenwood Commonwealth endorsed Cochran in today's paper. Will be interested to see of the other Wyatt Emmerich-owned papers follow suit.

Plunkett is crazy as shit! In Tuesday's election Cochran will win! And Plunkett's candidate will come up on the "short end" - just like he did when he worked for Billy Hewes when he ran for Lt. Gov - who was "short sighted" on campaign issues!

Chris McDaniel is on target with his platform and the issues our country is currently facing. If I am wrong why won't Thad debate Chris today? I do not know a Mississippian who is happy with the state of our country's government. Any incumbent who has served for years and hasn't fought to reign in the government should not be given any more political power.

The time for change has arrived for the betterment and prosperity of our country. I have faith that McDaniel will make a positive difference for our country's health and welfare.

That's very interesting that the anti cronyism Emmerich would endorse the cronies' own candidate.

11:48 am grow up... Congressional incumbents don't debate the wannabes and all but the politically naïve know that.

And, yeah, you probably were a Thad supporter but only because you would never vote for a Democrat.

Do you think we are as gullible and dumb as you apparently are?

This is the worst managed, most poorly planned, most unprofessional campaign by both candidates I've ever witnessed.

If your candidate isn't a charming sociopath, he's doing a great imitation of one!

So I've got a choice between a sociopath and a doddering old man in the primary. What a deal!

Other than his hometown paper (I assume enough people in Ellisville read to justify a weekly rag), I'd be surprised if McDaniel receives a single endorsement. If he does, I'd appreciate someone posting here and letting us know.

I think its funny how both sides now have "geeks" to monitor social media sites and to "hit back" every time something pops up.

Like it matters.

Thad will win this despite outside forces spending literally millions of dollars to unseat him.

The actual residents of MS should be angry that their representative has been abused by so called "Republicans."

McDaniel is dangerous folks....as dangerous as that fool Ted Cruz and the person who single handedly caused the Rs to lose the Presidency, Sarah Palin.

I am so very tired of the DEBATE QUESTION!!! Why will Thad Cochran not debate Chris McDaniel? - The answer is simple: Why would you get in a pissing contest with a skunk????

Plunkett is not a genius, he is a little boy trying to amuse himself and a few of the flock while his ole lady pays the bills!

If Thad makes it through the primary I am voting for the Democratic candidate. Time for a change in Washington.

You thad supporters are showing your true colors. You are aligning yourselves with the liberal lefties because name calling is all you can do. You cant do much else.

Why cant you all bring in facts instead of slamming the other side like Obama supporters do against Conservatives?

Your side lacks class to debate and you are a prime example of your Cochran team.

I feel sorry for you and your Cochran team.

1:27 I feel sorry for any and all of you McDaniel supporters who are gullible enough to believe everything you are "spoon-fed" by that camp. But, sometimes you have to get burned to understand the fire is hot!!!!

Thank you little sweet 8-lb baby Jesus that we vote in less than 48 hours. This madness will soon be over.

Thad was politicking with Greg Harper at Crossgates Baptist Church this morning. He seemed pretty feeble,bless his heart.

OMG Please make it stop! My mail box is full of election crap, my phone rings constantly with celebrity and political endorsements along with endless polls. I can't wait to hear "Merry Christmas" then maybe it will be over.

JJ does keep me laughing and calm from time to time.

Keep
Calm
and
VOTE

5:42 PM, Thad can't go anywhere without one of his handlers propping him up.

Oh GREAT...just got a robo call from " Governor Sarah Palin" for McDaniel.
Wonder how much money she got for that?!
And wonder if she knows jack about Chris or ever met him until she got paid?
Love how all these outsiders are nosing into our business.

Love how all these outsiders are nosing into our business.

Like the US Chamber of Commerce's Thad-love? Does that piss you off?

Pugnacious has left a new comment on your post "Who is Chris McDaniel?":

An event this morning around 11:10a.m., north of Hattiesburg at the intersection of Pep's Point Road and HiWay 49, in no way reflects on McDaniel's qualifications for holding public office. However, his handlers need to know of the reckless manner of his campaign bus driver, endangering his staff and the driving public.

As I was driving the speed limit in the right lane on N49 north of Hattiesburg, I passed by the McDaniel Campaign bus that was attempting to pull out onto N49. Half-a-minute later I looked into the rear view mirror--at a distance of approximately 100 yards from the intersection of Pep's Point Road and N49--and was surprised that the bus was approaching at a fast rate of speed(70+ mph)as the traffic light was already showing caution. I braked and stopped at the light, as I had intended to exit right to travel to Mack's Fish Camp for lunch. After the traffic signal light had already turned red, approximately five(5) seconds later the bus "blew by" me in the passing lane through the intersection. This intersection was one of those MDOT-designed death traps that are so common across Mississippi;the intersection--accessing Pep's Point Water Park and Mack's Fish Camp-- had been the scene of many deaths and injuries for over 30-years, before the installation of the traffic signal

Wow! People in MS haven't seen Republicrat Cochran in forever and at least McDaniel has him coming to speak to us! The latest is that he showed up at Crossgates Baptist Church.

Harper wants that senate chair badly, huh? Keep up the work. Maybe it will pay off for you or Tate Reeves in a couple years.

McDaniels bus driver apparently has the same respect for rules/law/protocol as the rest of his supporters.

If Cochran had a decent campaign manager, this would not be a contest. Given how bad Cochran's campaign has been managed, if McDaniel had a decent campaign manager he could have pulled this off. #circularargument

IRS/political activity/church's tax exempt status

How is it that "Thad was politicking with Gregg Harper at Crossgates Baptist church this morning"? Is Harper a member and, on a whim, Thad just decided to visit said church?

I heard CMs campaign manager was POd that she had to take a backseat to Sara Palin last week. She takes a backseat to no woman with CM. Everybody knows that.

7:24 pm Not as much since 1) we have that organization in MS and 2) they aren't being paid to interfere.
But, yes, I do think outsiders ought to be banned from messing in the local and state politics of states in which they don't reside.
If a candidate can't raise enough money or enthusiasm from his own who know him best, perhaps there's a reason for that.

If you read the last months worth of flames, its no wonder so much of the country hesitates to vote republican.

Has social media turned people into idiots, or does it just reveal that so many people are in fact idiots?
