Cochran the repub incumbent defeated McDaniels, the Tea Party backed state Sen. for the Miss. senate seat's repub party runoff.

I wonder of these same voters will turnout for the election on Nov. ? If they do, Cochran could be in trouble.

The precinct level returns in Hinds County bolster the theory that a surge in black, Democratic turnout allowed Senator Thad Cochran to defeat Chris McDaniel, a Tea Party-backed state senator, in last month’s Republican primary runoff in Mississippi.

Mississippi law requires that in order to vote in a Party primary the voter must intend to support the Party's nominee. Are those Democrats are going to vote for Thad Cochran in the Senate race? Meanwhile, interestingly enough, Tea Party candidate Chris McDaniel cast a vote in the 2003 Democratic primary.

This ain't how elections are supposed to work.

An old, white, Southern Republican Senator who has been "serving" for 40 years, sent up for re-election by black Democrats

So you think it's ok to lie and misrepresent what party you're affiliated with in order to illegally vote in a closed primary? I wonder if you'll be so blase if the same starts happening in reverse and republicans start screwing with democrat primaries? For some reason, I tend to doubt it.

Remember 2008? Remember Rush's Operation Chaos? I did not see you decrying your party when they were doing the same thing to try and mess with Democratic primaries. What's good for the goose...

Mississippi is not a closed primary. Do not make shit up. And as I've already pointed out Republicans already did screw with Democratic primaries and when we complained we were told in no uncertain terms to shut up. So it's Republicans turn now. the Cochran campaign broke no laws and the voters who voted for him broke no enforceable law.

The laws governing that vary by state.

Not necessarily. It would be far easier for a moderate R to hold the seat than a Tea Partier, but Tea Partiers have won general elections.

I agree that it's a serious problem, but a natural consequence of badly gerrymandered districts.

Repubs do the same thing, like crossing party lines to vote for a weak dem (rookie no less) to go against DeWitt and what's real surprising about that is, it was a wasted effort as...DeWitt was never in trouble.

You can in some states because of open primary laws.

Yeah. It could happen. You say they might vote a senior Senator out because they are black?
