OFFICIAL Mississippi U.S. Senate Election RESULTS THREAD

[Mr.NoSmile]

I am SICK of losing! Time to get a real game plan going, find the people in our areas who are willing to get active. The absolute greatest evil in liberty politics is reinventing the wheel. We need an organized grassroots EVERYWHERE waiting to hit the pavement as soon as candidates announce.

That's easier said than done if you don't already have your folks entrenched in the party rather than people seen as outsiders looking in and saying 'This doesn't work. I want to rebuild this.' People have to play the game if they want to get ahead- not just sit on the sidelines and wait until a candidate who shares their views decides to run for office.

I'm going to call it for Cochran.

I'm also going to call it now that there will be MANY claims of voter fraud - and possibly even criminal charges for some activity.

I am a betting woman that Cochran will lose this fall because Republicans will not get out and vote for a man who had to beg for Democrat votes to win. His base is done.

 

[hardrightedge]

It's over...these elections are worthless...all for show...

Cochran knew...he wasn't worried at all...it's all rigged...

 

[tsai3904]

If the margin of victory is less than .5%, some states have an automatic recount, which could go any which way.

Mississippi doesn't have any laws on recount.

?????????????????? Don't leave me hanging here. Who?

I am SICK of losing! ...

We Shall overcome!

 

[RP Supporter]

I'm normally not an advocate for this, but McDaniel should run as a write in and hope to do enough damage to Cochran that the Democrat gets elected. At this point, Cochran owes his political career to the Democrats, and he knows it. I expect he will govern accordingly if reelected.

Which is why I've said it dozens of times.... if our people are not walking in parades with Republicans, working booths in the festivals, volunteering for the GOP phone banks at their HQ, etc... they're spinning their wheels and we will get no where.

I have never campaigned for someone I cannot philosophically support. I have never minced where I stand politically. Yet, I do not argue with people (most of the time). I do not try to win people over to my argument until I have built a relationship with them first.

The party leadership in my area doesn't particularly care for me, but know what? The rest of the feet on the street Republicans DO - and that's all that matters. They know me, like me, and the ones that don't TOLERATE me

If people want to win, more of us need to be like Rand.

Find a candidate you like locally and GIVE THEM ALL YOU GOT. Build yourself some credibility so in 2016, we're not just a bunch of demanding OUTSIDERS.

The person has to be black.

 

[Brett85]

How many signatures does it take in Mississippi to recall a Senator?

 

[samforpaul]

RP Supporter, I'm of the same mindset. Normally I think it would be wrong to run as a write-in/independent after losing a Primary, but if Dems made the difference I'd like to see Chris be on the November ballot.

 

[hardrightedge]

The person has to be black.

that won't work either...he'll just be called an uncle tom...

Yeah, sure, that does have some truth. But we DO need a true Conservative Black leader. We've had some very wise ones, but they have been so ignored and marginalized. I am a big fan of Emanuel McLittle, but no one has even heard of him. We need to face the facts that America does not have one culture, we have many. People want to be led by their own people, call it whatever you will. America is not by and large a individualist society.

 

[William Tell]

Correct.

 

[Vanguard101]

First Greg now Chris. I didn't even like Chris at first. I'm done man I give up

that won't work either...he'll just be called an uncle tom...

A black conservative/libertarian from this generation probably wouldn't. Most of the people I go around and talk to would never say that about me. It's the older generations

 

[Brett85]

I'm certainly not a fan of Karl Rove, but his analysis of the Mississippi race on Fox News just a few minutes ago was correct. He said that Thad Cochran can thank Mississippi's open primary law for his victory. He would've had no chance if only Republicans had been allowed to vote in this race.

 

[William Tell]

First Greg now Chris. I didn't even like Chris at first. I'm done man I give up

Don't, all politics is local. We shoot too high.

No, because that would make McDaniel toxic in the future; and there is probably a law against that.

Besides, McDaniel can probably win that seat next time around in 4 years.

If it was easy, everyone would do it.
