Sour grapes. Mississippi has open primaries. Deal with it.
Not enough to stop them from going into full-blown batshit
dolchstoss mode though, which the loyal two-legged abattoirs such as Palin and Limpbaugh have already being doing over the past week. The Mississippi TeaBirchers appear to be even more odious than the standard kind. Between the McDaniel agent trying to break into a nursing home to take some kind of disgusting pictures of Cochran's dementia-stricken wife, TeaBirchers somehow being "accidentally" locked up after hours in a courthouse where the ballots were being kept, and a heavyweight TeaBircher lawyer connected to the nursing home smear committing suicide after the primary was over, it looks like these guys are even scummier and more vicious than the Watergate or Iran-Contra felons. Take a look at McDaniel himself. He looks like nothing more than a snarl on a rabid dog that's somehow come to life. With this sort of behaviour, combined with their yearly placement at the bottom of the state-by-state quality-of-life rankings it's really no surprise that Mississippi has rightfully earned the label of being the worst state in the entire union.
The weird thing is that Thad Cochran is kind of a turd himself but the other turds didn't think he was rotten and cruel enough to properly represent them, which is why they tried to replace him with one of the worst people they could have ever possibly found.
