Cochran Survives Tea Party Challenge

By Matt Rooney | The Save Jersey Blog

ElephantsThe 6-term incumbent Thad Cochran is up by approximately 6,000 votes over challenger Chris McDaniel out of over 360,000 cast with over 99% precincts reporting, Save Jerseyans. So says the AP. Whew! Wild.

A Pyrrhic victory for the Tea Party riding high(er) after Eric Cantor’s defeat? Or an outright defeat?

How does it make YOU feel? To quote the great Dr. Frasier Crane.

Would love to hear from you…
