Are you saying that I should have supported the racist Tancredo because he would be easier to defeat than Beauprez?I would call it stupid, silly Democrats--helping to elect the guy you have less of a chance of beating in the fall.
Former Congressman T. Childers was a good DEM recruit and could have beaten McDaniel.
Red-state turn-overs are now down to KY and GA, unless the TEA-party makes a comeback in KS or TN.
And, who won the GOP governor's nomination in your state tonite ?
His point was that DEMs shouldn't have voted for Cochran--he'll be much stronger than McDaniel in the general.
I agree with him--Dems are stupid like that.
As we now hear with over 800,000 of them not registered in GA .
Yes--as awful as that is--would you prefer Hickenlooper or Beauprez--and how will that change things in CO?Are you saying that I should have supported the racist Tancredo because he would be easier to defeat than Beauprez?
I don't think Cochran was pushed over the top by Democrats. If members of other parties participating in the primary were smart, they would've voted for the Tea Party so that Democrats could actually have a better chance in the general election.
Every time Cochran votes to support McConnell's filibuster, I'll remember what a RINO he is .

It depends on the state.Can people vote in party primary run-off elections in parties they are not a member of?
More than 60,000 more people voted in this run-off than in the GOP primary .Its all voters in general.
Although I think it is more due to a combination of being to lazy to pay attention to politics and apathy.
It even happens with registered voters.
You can look at any polling location and see that it is true.
The more local an election the lower amount of voters in that polling location show up and the more national the election the more voters in that same polling location show up.
So just because you got a million registered voters does not mean all of them will show up.

what are the liberal journalist going to do now that the tea party didn't get its win in Mississippi? OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Dems were not going to beat McDaniel in Mississippi. Letting Cochran back-in is really a preferable outcome Dems; the proverbial lesser of evils.... or, since we are speaking of Mississippi, the lesser of two weevils.
No one thought Donnelly had a chance to win in Indiana either--and then Lugar lost to the TEA-party's Mourdock.Agreed. The Right wing loon would have been far easier for the Democrats to defeat.
However, given that this is Mississippi, I don't think the Democrats have a hope in hell of winning that election regardless of who the Republican candidate was.
Cochran is far less dangerous to the nation than the right wing loon.
Despite having pretty much the best candidate in Childers, McDaniel was still a 90%+ favorite of winning. IMHO if I were a Democrat I'd vote for Cochran as someone slightly closer than McDaniel to my point of view.
Sounds like Dems across the country are disappointed that TEAs didn't win, especially in your CO,Are you saying that I should have supported the racist Tancredo because he would be easier to defeat than Beauprez?
I'm wondering, Democrats... why do you refer to every person to the right of you as "far right" or "ultra far right loons"... etc..it's evident in nearly everyone of your posts.

All it takes is one vote over 50%. That's called democracy.Ha! No kidding, less than 5,000 votes out of 360,000. Why, it's a landslide!
The RINOs and Liberals can rest easy now.
thank you for expressing this sane observationIn my state, as an Independent, I can request a Rep or Dem or Libertarian or Green party ballot in the primary.
Only problem is, not enough independents know this so they can keep the kooks from winning.
It does matter. But that's for another thread.great... another lifelong politician keep his job as a lifelong politician.
mah, he's not my congrescritter, so it doesn't really matter.
True, but when a Tea Party or other candidate from the right-wing end of the Republicans win the primary and is exposed to the media, they can make a controversial comment and crash and burn (like Todd Akin.) IDK I might be wrong, and there's no way to find out if that would occur now.
