How Molly Ball blew it: Establishment Republicans "winning" by bringing in Democrats is not the Tea Party "blowing it."


I previously gave Molly Ball a Rule 5

But she is not that pretty 

Either that or you intentionally misled your readers by writing a false story…

We know why Chris McDaniel "lost."  And you have no idea how angry conservatives are…

This is your Mississippi GOP: The flyer that got Thad elected…

Update:
The staggering price of crushing the Tea Party… (it should be the staggering price of alienating a good portion of your own base)
TOM: Media bias and women with penises…
My comment at TOM:





When I did that meme that Molly Ball was not Amanda Marcotte (despite the cats), Bob Belvedere Adoran [my bad] warned that the jury was out on Molly.
Well the verdict came in and Ms. Ball definitely in the bag for the Establishment! And that would be the media establishment. Because one establishment scratches the back of another (in this case the GOP).

Not all publicity is good publicity: Thad Cochran says he grew up doing "indecent" things to animals…

  I hope this was a joke, but still, TMI Thad!
Cochran said of his childhood and how parts of his family lived in the central part of the state. “Picking up pecans, from that to all kind of indecent things with animals.” The audience laughed at that point, video published by the Jackson Clarion-Ledger shows. Cochran’s facial expressions did not change, nor did his stance or demeanor. “I know some of you know what that is,” he continued.

Mississippi Run Off: Chris McDaniels vs Thad Cochran

TOM: Thad Cochran needs to concede…

Update:
AoSHQ: Why it is important to make red state senators as conservative as possible... This goes back to the WFB, Jr. "Buckley Rule" on elections. There is also the Limbaugh Rule, but that can only hope to work if the party then follows Reagan's 11th Commandment. That does not mean you can't criticize a fellow Republican in the primaries, it means you support the nominee in the general. Christine O'Donnell was abandoned by the GOP when she beat out Castle in the primaries. Will Cochran and the GOP elites do the same for McDaniels?  Of course, Mississippi is not a blue state so McDaniels will win.

Separated at Birth: Mississippi Political Blogger Clayton Thomas Kelly and…?




















TOM: "Forget it Jake, it's…"

This post is not to defend Clayton Thomas Kelly, if he did this it was definitely wrong.  But part of Kelly's problem is he is not able to ride on an Establishment reputation like Bob Woodward did with his supposed death bed interview of Bill Casey.  Of course, there is a dispute over whether it ever happened--which suggests Woodward might be guilty of something else.

Update:
TOM: More arrests in Mississippi Scandal (definitely BSC News worthy)
Hot Air has more…
Drew at AoSHQ has more...
We cover this race on the podcast and Ace makes a point I haven't seen anyone else making...the charges represent an unethical use of law enforcement in order to stifle a legitimate act of journalism. The podcast is up and linked in the sidebar.
