Not sure what all the big hub bub is about Thad Cochran being elected. I understand the "old guard, RINO" mentality that is sweeping the nation. The one thing that I do know is that he is the head of the appropriations committee that doles out government contracts to places like shipyards, air force bases, and other government entities. If he was to be voted out the next ranking member from the Republican side would be down the food chain, basically giving control of that committee to the Democrats.
Anyways, I do not claim to be an expert on this area, but anyone who says that Cochran ran a dirty campaign has NO IDEA the campaign that McDaniel ran..or just is hearing from someone who is clueless.
McDaniel's TV and radio spots were absolutely brutal. In fact, they went as far as spying on his wife and sent a campaign person into the nursing home where his wife lives (terminally ill or alzheimers or something like that) to try to dig up dirt on Cochran.
