That video is a perfect example of why, quite frankly, none of this matters. You disagree with me....therefore, you are a brain dead idiot who shouldn't be allowed to vote. I swear we were SO much better off before people started worshipping at the altars of Fox or MSNBC. Turn the radio and TV off and go outside with your kids....in the end we are choosing between a career politician and a future career politician. Utter nonsense.
There was a New York Times article last night about Thad and the election (good read) and I forget who but one of the big shots in Desoto said something like "We did this to ourselves. The Republican Party has done everything to convince it's members to vote for the candidate who publicly hates Obama the most." It's true. McDaniel is running largely on the platform that he'll repeal universal healthcare "and stop Obama!", when that's not even possible... But it's working SOMEHOW. The type of people who listen to conservative radio are showing up in hordes, enough to dethrone one of the most powerful men in America from what WAS the most secure seat in the senate.
The best part of the article was some hick from the delta arguing with people in the comments, because what's a national article about Mississippi without some uneducated clown arguing with New York Times readers representing all of us. The highlight was him complaining about how he rents section 8 housing and how the tenants were rude and lazy. Let that sink in.
I can't imagine being a voter right now. Thad is a lame duck even if he goes back. I think it's partly the realization that Mississippi's run on Washington is over that's causing people to lose it.
ETA: Dr. Wiseman is quoted in the article. Favorite professor I ever had. He told our class that Cochran is really hated up in Ohio because he robs hundreds of millions in research money that rightly should go to Ohio State but goes to what is a very undeserving MSU simply by being really, really good at his job.
