I read that some people believe he'll be the next President. I'd rather have a true conservative.

I was very disappointed in Jason Chaffetz jumping on the bandwagon of a Romney re-run. I do see that Jason is returning the favor when Romney endorsed him for Congress in 2008.

Don't they understand that even though the polling (Quinnipiac) shows that Romney would have done better than Obama, Romney's favorability is only 45%. That is less than the 47% who voted for him, which didn't get him into the White House. Even with Obama's bad rating approval at 40%, Romney is still below his voting percentage.

Interesting how these billionaire's will give money to both sides in hopes of a payoff. In this case, I agree with the article that it's likely immigration.

Yes, I agree, it is likely Amnesty the Dems support in any Republican candidate. And the article points out that Breitbart reported Cochran's pro-Amnesty support.

More than the money trail, which I think we all knew this was going on, is this part of the article on the "messaging":

One last irony of ironies. The Mississippi Conservatives PAC is headed by a Republican National Committeeman from Mississippi, Henry Barbour. One of the smaller contributors to the PAC — Sally Bradshaw ($1,000) — is, along with Henry Barbour, the co-author of RNC Chairman Reince Priebus’s “autopsy report” analyzing what went wrong for the GOP in the 2012 elections. (Ms. Bradshaw, incidentally, served as chief of staff to Jeb Bush and managed two of his three gubernatorial bids. “While not his ‘brain,’ she’s the closest parallel to a Karl Rove that the former Florida governor has,” one source told Politico.)

Among other things the RNC autopsy report Barbour and Bradshaw authored talks about “messaging.” Suffice to say, the message from this latest controversy over the donors who supplied the cash for the Mississippi Conservatives primary and runoff — cash used to play the race card against fellow Republicans — will be received. And not well.

Just to name a few of the conservatives that the GOP turned against:

Joe Miller - AL
Allen West - FL
Ken Cuccinelli - VA
Kevin McDaniel - MS

An Interesting Article on McDaniel

"This time next year, odds are that Thad Cochran will still be a U.S. senator and Chris McDaniel will be back where he started, on the talk radio circuit."

CONFIRMED: Senate Republican Leaders Paid for Attacks Against Conservatives

I can confirm that the attack ads in Mississippi run by “All Citizens for Mississippi” were funded by Senate Republicans, including Senators Mitch McConnell, John Cornyn, Rob Portman, Bob Corker, and Roy Blunt.

The advertisements attacked Mississippi State Senator Chris McDaniel and painted conservative Republicans and tea party activists as racists. According to documents filed with the Federal Elections Commission (link has PDF file), All Citizens for Mississippi received funding from a Haley Barbour backed group called Mississippi Conservatives.

And Rove the liar:

Rove American Crossroads in Mississippi Controversy


The headline in the Washington Post on June 4 was clear:

Rove-backed American Crossroads won’t get involved in Cochran runoff

Said the Post story the day after Tea Party favorite Chris McDaniel had defeated six-term Mississippi GOP Senator Thad Cochran in the first round of the state’s GOP primary:

American Crossroads, a GOP establishment organization, has decided to shift its political focus almost entirely to the general election and will not be spending money in the likely runoff election to decide the Mississippi Senate nomination that was virtually deadlocked after Tuesday night. […]

“Other than Alaska, we have completed our work on Senate primaries this cycle and are now focused on general elections. With the Chamber, the NRSC, and a local super PAC already backing Cochran, this is not our fight,” Paul Lindsay, spokesman for Crossroads, said in a statement.”

Really?

Just out is the quarterly FEC filing from Mississippi Conservatives. And what does it show?

According to the FEC, on June 20 — that would be four days before the June 24 runoff — the controversial Cochran-supporting group Mississippi Conservatives received a $50,000 donation from… American Crossroads.

Something, as they say, seems amiss.
