Here comes the undead! Johnny McCain to the rescue...

McCain and other Cochran supporters highlighted the incumbent's support for the military in their push against the tea party-backed challenger. McCain said that Cochran, a fellow Navy veteran, has been a steady ally of military spending and readiness.

"I call on my fellow veterans, I call on my fellow service members to send Thad Cochran, a good and decent and honorable senator, back to the United States Senate," McCain told an audience of about 200 at the War Memorial auditorium in downtown Jackson.

Did anyone read this tripe?

At the same time, Cochran isn't an ideologue, and—during his six terms—has funneled tens of billions in earmarks and funds to Mississippi, propping the state's economy and creating jobs for thousands of his constituents. As the Times notes, Cochran has secured funds for "health centers, historically black colleges and infrastructure," directly and indirectly boosting black communities in the state.

McDaniel, on the other hand, is opposed to federal spending as a matter of course, and would sacrifice these investments for the sake of ideological purity. Given the extent to which a Republican senator is guaranteed—Mississippi is the site of extreme racial polarization, where almost all whites vote Republican and all blacks vote Democratic—Cochran might stand as the best available choice for black voters in the state.

How low is the GOP establishment willing to go? This low.

 
Bastiat's The Law said:
If you haven't been keeping up with this election, Ron Paul actually visited Hattiesburg to endorse Chris McDaniel in person. Meanwhile, John McCain is out stumping for Thad Cochran. Looks like the making of another proxy battle between the Liberty Movement and the Republican establishment.

For those that voted, how did they check which primary you voted in on June 3? I've read that some polling locations didn't have lists of who voted in which primary and just took the word of voters.
 
The New York Times has compiled a lot of anecdotes about Democrats voting and organizing GOTV efforts for Cochran:

Mr. Davis, 44, a life-long Democrat, cast his first ballot in a Republican primary here at the Court Street United Methodist Church. The tutor and record store manager said it may well be his last. But he said he saw it as his “duty.”

“If anyone wants to tell me I’m stealing the election or something ludicrous like that, it doesn’t work that way,” he said. “It’s the future of the state.”

Mr. Davis said he has talked other friends into casting their first Republican ballots, but “it’s really anybody’s guess” who will win.

James Bennett planned to vote for Thad Cochran after black canvassers came to his door on Mr. Cochran’s behalf and asked for his vote. But when he arrived, he found out he was ineligible to vote because he had already voted in the Democratic primary.

Other blacks said they voted because they did not like Mr. McDaniel’s rhetoric.

“My vote for Thad Cochran is my vote against McDaniel,” said Mary H. Thornton, who retired from General Motors. “Out of all my years voting, I’ve never voted for a Republican.”

Roger Smith, 66, a Democrat dancing with a Thad Cochran sign with the spokes slid down the back of his neon yellow Thad Cochran t-shirt, said he thought Mr. Cochran would do better for black people.

“I don’t know too much about McDaniel other than what McDaniel’s saying: that he’s Tea Party, he’s against Obama, he don’t like black people. You’re going to get one of the white guys in there, you got to make a choice,” Mr. Smith said.

The workers said they are paid $12 an hour to work for Floyd Smith. Since the runoff, these dozen workers have knocked on doors and passed out literature in Georgetown.

This is from the same New York Times reporter:

Black democrat voters have to be most gullible folks in the country. They are really voting for Cochran? Do they even know what Cochran stands for? I suppose they don't even care. It's all about voting against the Tea Party Racist who wants to send them back to fields.

If Cockran wins, I personally hope he loses the general to the democrat. He was courting the democrat voters, so a democrat deserves to win (if McDaniel loses)...

I would be ecstatic if McDaniel wins tonight and then McConnell loses later in the fall.
