Cochran Smacks Down Strutting Bantam Rooster

In a race that was McDaniel's to lose, the overconfident cock fighting aficionado blew it big time after trouncing the incumbent Thad 'Porkman' Cochran in the regular primary.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/politi...y.html?hpid=z1

"In a bitter and angry speech to supporters in Hattiesburg late Tuesday, McDaniel refused to concede and said, “we are not prone to surrender.” He cited “voting irregularities” and thundered that the “Republican primary [was] decided by liberal Democrats.”
“We’re not done fighting,” McDaniel vowed.
In nearly every Mississippi county, voter turnout was up over the inconclusive June 3 primary. But precinct totals show it was substantially higher in heavily African American areas. In the 24 counties with a majority black population, turnout increased by 39.4 percent, giving Cochran a big edge." WaPo

Talk about sore losers.
