This whole campaign has had everyone stuck between a rock and a hard place on making a decision i think, but like bigoak said ill support whoever wins.

No matter who wins, we're all winners tomorrow when the mailbox is empty of campaign flyers and the robo calls stop.

Amen to that!!!

Agreed! I'm sick of the negative ads I keep getting from the Cochrane campaign in my mailbox everyday.

Critical Election This Tuesday
– Vote Chris McDaniel for U.S. Senate
Dear Friend of the Second Amendment,

Michael Bloomberg is spending $250,000 to defeat pro-gunner Chris McDaniel in Tuesday’s primary runoff election.

Why does Bloomberg -- who’s pledged to spend $50 million pushing his radical gun control agenda -- care about this race in Mississippi?

Because the challenger who won the initial primary in early June, Chris McDaniel, is Bloomberg’s worst nightmare.

While serving in the state senate, McDaniel fought hard to restore your Second Amendment rights by:

* Sponsoring a concealed carry reciprocity bill that was signed into law.

* Co-sponsoring legislation expanding concealed carry in three consecutive years.

* Sponsoring a “tax holiday” for gun owners and sportsmen in 2012.

* Sponsoring the Mississippi Firearms Freedom Act.

It’s clear that Chris McDaniel not only “talks the talk,” but “walks the walk” when it comes to understanding and defending your God-given right to keep and bear arms.

Unlike the incumbent, who has been in Washington for 40 years, Chris McDaniel will stand up to Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid when they try to gut the Second Amendment.

That’s why Gun Owners of America Political Victory Fund is proud to stand with McDaniel in this election, and I urge you to stand with him with your vote on Tuesday.

And please remind your friends and family to vote so we can ensure that the true Second Amendment candidate wins this important race.

Sincerely,

Tim Macy
Vice Chairman
Gun Owners of America

P.S. Tuesday is Primary Runoff Election Day in Mississippi. Please cast your vote for a champion for the Second Amendment, Chris McDaniel for Senate.

What exactly do you expect him to do to cut spending? How is he (one man) gonna cut federal spending? Be specific.

If he had his way and we did not get the money from the fed government that makes up 45% of our state budget what does he propose the state does to make up that shortfall? Be specific.

What exactly do you expect him to do to help the education system in Mississippi? Remember if he had his way the funding for education would be cut. What is his plan for education? Be specific.

What exactly do you expect him to do to help the struggling economy in Mississippi? Be specific.

Remember you say that Cochran is responsible for the problems in Mississippi so how will McDaniel fix it?

Short and simple answer to all of them is this: We expect him to put forth an effort. We know we won't get that effort from Cochran. We haven't for many years. No person with half a brain thinks McDaniel will go up there and clean house, but if you have enough McDaniel's and Cruz's and Lee's and Paul's get elected, maybe together, with enough of them there, they might start to make a difference. Cochran, Harper, Reeves will do nothing but ride the wagon until they retire or die. I'm not voting for the savior of Ms. I'm voting for someone that wants to put forth an effort.

Same here.
And my deep seeded belief in term limits is going to play in todays vote for me.

for some it is an easy vote to cast...many variables at play, both factual and emotional, for some. this will be an easier vote to cast than the primary was for me, but not by much.

...but either way, i'll support the winning candidate and be VERY happy that the whole sloppy, nasty, mud slung ordeal is behind us!!!!

I must be lucky I guess...i haven't recieved a single call or piece of mail fom either candidate this entire campaign.

I must be lucky as well cause i havent received but one piece of mail and that was before the first election, but if you ever watch local TV channels you will see a campaign commercial every other commercial.

This decision is difficult because we all like Thad Cochran. He's done fine representing Mississippi over the years. It's just that our country needs to head in a different direction, and he is very much status quo. Too bad both candidates' campaigns weren't as civil and respectful as this message board.

420 racin wrote:I must be lucky I guess...i haven't recieved a single call or piece of mail fom either candidate this entire campaign.

I haven't received one call from either and only a couple pieces of junk mail from Cochran that promptly went to the trash can without even being
opened. I rarely watch local TV so I don't see the commercials. I hear the radio ads on occasion and find them comical, but infuriating at the same
time. I think it is disgraceful that either candidates supporters would try to do anything shady, but I see a lot of cronyism at work coming out of
the establishment. Actively going out and paying dems to crossover and vote should be prosecuted, but it will just get a good ole boy slap on the
back and business as usual. There is a reason we are ranked the most corrupt state in the country. Again, another one of those bottom of the list
ratings that Thad and his ilk have ushered into our state. It's sad.

Commercials?? DVR-Fast-Forward.

I see a lot of people saying this, and typically by term limits people mean 2 terms in a post. McDaniel has served 1.5 terms (6 years) in the MS Senate. If he wins and runs two terms in the US that'd be 18 years. I guess he's going to retire from politics at that point, but if he doesn't - will the total time in office (all posts he would serve) not matter if he's moving around. Say he runs for the House after 2 terms in the Senate, or for Governor. Would he still be considered a vote-worthy non career politician at that point? I'm just curious. How long is too long? 42 apparently is too long for some people, but 36 was ok.

I thought I was for term limits, but the founders created a House and Senate (Great Compromise of 1787) to equalize power between small and large (based on population) states. The Senate gives smaller state more influence. Love it or hate it, seniority increases the power. We've benefited greatly from only having 5 senators over the past 67 years.

I think you are reading WAY to much into my statement. I've never really thought that deeply about it. But since you ask, 2 terms per post (state, fed, local, what ever) sounds about right to me.
