McDaniel and his hardest-core supporters are combing election returns, county-by-county, in efforts to prove enough "double voting" by Democrats and invalidate the run-off, then force a do-over. Most media "experts" (who probably hate McDaniel more than they might loath Karl Rove or Haley Barbour) say he has no chance with that. Not to put all their rotten eggs in one grey cap, McDaniel's rump tea party is now saying they can prove an African-American minister was offered "walking around" money to buy votes for Cochran.
The vast majority of Bible Thumpers and racists in Mississippi will dutifully shuffle to the polls in November and, without a thought or a cash handout, vote for Cochran because he was the choice, however unseemly, of their only choice, God's Own (and Only) Party. The same black Democrats who double voted, or voted with their wallets, for Cochran will either stay home (if no one pays them again to vote), or they will, after using God's Own Reason given them for free at birth, decide the Blue Dog Democrat is better than Rove's Cochran. There are not enough of them, however, to outvote both the julep gentry and the Thumpers.
Chalk up one for Rove and Barbour. One that will stick.
