If I were a Mississippi Republican and this idiot wins, I would vote democrat in November.

Unfortunately, although it's early.. Cochran is up 55-45... (However, I know it started off similar to this is the pre-runoff)

Cochrans support is in populated areas that likely have automated voting machines that quickly send the results in. Word is that the. Voting is heavy, but in the rural areas as well. So it looks like a nail biter brewing.

Apparently it'll come down to Jones and Desoto Counties again... (McDaniel areas, but he's got to win those counties by some pretty wide margins to win... but he's already saying he'll demand a recount if it's as close as the original primary).


Also noticed that tax cheat/dodger Charlie Rangel is losing his runoff election at the moment... so democrats can figure out how to vote out their over-the-hillers, but Republicans can't?

AP says it got close again though:

T. Cochran (i) 50.9% 113,636
C. McDaniel 49.1% 109,452

Precincts Reporting: 72.7%

If you had a shred of respect for the establishments elitist ******** before today, it should be gone after their sick tricks in this race.

OUCH: From twitter

This is so much fun!! Cochran doing exactly what many on here accuse the dems of doing. SHIIIIT xcan't make this stuff up!
Just for tonight..... Can we all put party affiliation aside, just for this one moment, and all agree POLITICIANS ARE ALL DOUCHBAGS!!!

I really would love to be a fly on the Rangel campaign office's wall... He's probably raising holy hell about getting KILLED by his opposition.

Why for just one night?

RCP has it at about a 2600 vote difference in favor of Cochran with 87% in... but they don't say which counties haven't been fully counted. I'm thinking it's too big of a gap for McDaniel to overcome.

Rangel down by 453 with only 6% reporting so far... Really ? Only 6% by now?

Jones is 60% in, and 80% McDaniel -- he lives in ellisville. there are probably 3,000 votes left for him in his remaining strong counties. I'm wore worried about 3 northern counties that are 0% in . . .

Follow the live returns map on politico. It was very accurate and always current in the general election

RCP upped it back to a 5000 vote lead for Cochran... I'm surprised they haven't called it yet.

Rangel down by 600 in his race. Wonder if he'll try to get a job with MSNBC if he loses tonight?

I don't know if he can overcome a 5000 vote margin. it's going the wrong way, and he's running out of precincts.

He only leads in Jackson county by 1 vote.. I think that one HURT badly... He trounced over everyone in the primary. But as expected Harrison and Hinds county made the difference I think (4000 for cochran in Harrison, 9000 vote in favor for cochran in Hinds).

Wonder why Holmes is reporting 0%?

It did that in the general, too. I think it's "just that way", as we like to say in the south.

tonight is not what I expected. theory one: a lot of Cochran supporters didnt vote in the general, but were spurred to life in the runoff by mcdaniel's win. theory two: something less noble.

jones came in. Knocked the lead down to 1100, but didnt push him into the lead.


not a good sign

Perry came in. Not a lot of votes, but a big McDaniel county that was 0% in. Didn't move the margin as much as McDaniel needed

My guess? a lot of voters didn't vote in the primary, so a lot of people jumped in to vote this runoff regardless of party affiliation.

6% of the precincts out. Theoretically, the votes are out there for McDaniel state-wide, but I'm not finding them in strong McDaniel counties.

razor freaking thin, though. this is a freaking epic runoff.

There are a number of precincts still out in rankin; big county that Cochran has a 6% lead in. if the remaining precincts follow the same pattern, that could sustain him.
