re: So where are the McDaniel folks now?

Thad is a big government politician. He, and others like him, want more power in Washington. He would prefer to pick and choose winners rather than let the market decide. He wants that capability, just like the vast majority of Senators no matter the party. He also loves his name on the side of buildings.

And I keep hearing how big of a POS McDaniel is, but I've never been presented with evidence showing he is such. It may have been a miscalculation to contest the runoff to the extent that he has. That remains to be seen. However, I would call the tactics used by the Cochran cpaign far more indicative of a POS than simply following legal proceedings to contest an election, which McD is well within his rights to do.
