HATTIESBURG, Mississippi — State Sen. Chris McDaniel will challenge the results of the Tuesday runoff election, in which 41-year incumbent Sen. Thad Cochran won by about 6,400 votes, McDaniel announced to a room of supporters here at his victory party at the Hattiesburg Convention Center late Tuesday evening.

“I want to be very, very clear: There is nothing dangerous or extreme about wanting to balance a budget,” McDaniel said in a fiery speech to supporters. There is nothing dangerous or extreme about defending the Constitution or the civil liberties therein. There is nothing strange at all about standing as people of faith for a country that we built, that we believe in. But there is something a bit strange, there is something a bit unusual, about a Republican primary that’s decided by liberal Democrats.”

McDaniel said Cochran’s decision to seek Democrats to vote for him in the Republican primary runoff was un-Republican.

“So much for bold colors,” McDaniel said. “So much for principle. I guess they can take some consolation in the fact that they did something tonight by once again compromising, by once again reaching across the aisle, by once again abandoning the conservative movement. I would like to know which part of that strategy today our Republican friends endorse. I would like to know which part of that strategy today our statewide officials endorse. This is not the party of Reagan, but we’re not done fighting and when we’re done it will be.”

McDaniel said that Cochran’s actions mean the “conservative movement took a backseat to liberal Democrats” in Mississippi on Tuesday, something he argued can’t be allowed to stand as precedent. “In the most conservative state in the republic this happened and if it can happen here, it can happen anywhere—and that’s why we will never stop fighting,” McDaniel said.

After noting how Cochran and his allies spent “millions of dollars to character assassinate one of their own, or so it seemed,” McDaniel said “I’m still standing,” adding “we were right tonight.”

With all due respect, this is a lose/lose for him if he proceeds with this.

If he "wins" (and ultimately gets to the Senate), he'll be looked at by most of the others (except for Cruz and Lee and perhaps one or two others) as a pariah. He might as well inhabit an isolation booth.

If he would lose such a challenge, his political career would likely be over.

His loss last night was just a confimation (if anyone still needs one) that the system is broken beyond repair. Certainly broken beyond where elections can "fix" it.

Pursuing this would be like painting over the rust of a 1986 Yugo.

With all due respect, this is a win/win for him.

If he wins the challenge, it will be good for the country because Cockran would be gone.

If he loses the challenge, it will at least focus attention while the squabbling is taking place on the corrupt, Leftist tactics this Cockran and the other RINO assholes ran to cobble together a win. Sending messages to the black community that if McDaniels won he would take the black vote away? WTF is that? You would think Haley Bourber was Nancy Pelosi for Christ sakes. It is total and 100% bullshit!

I'll agree with you up to this point:

Cockroach losing would be entertaining - seeing these dinosaurs lose provides us something to cheer about. And there's so little of that these day. But in the great scheme of things, this makes little difference in the overall war. Because once you stamp out one cockroach, all the others circle the wagons and just rewrite the rules.

Or ignore the rules altogether.

If we were simply talking about corrupt individuals (and a non-corrupt system) we could get somewhere.

But the McClowns, Reids, Pelosis, McConnells and any others you could name (Ds &Rs makes no difference) have been there so long that the once pristine system has been corrupted past the point where it would be recognizable by the Founders.
