Just Cochran. McDaniel runs an embarrassing campaign in the general with at least a few jaw-dropping comments, but Mississippi isn't Missouri or Indiana. He still heads to the Senate.

Graham and Alexander hold on fairly narrowly. Cornyn and Enzi blow out their opponents.

Mississippi -- Romney 55.3, Obama 43.8
Indiana -- Romney 54.0, Obama 43.8
Missouri -- Romney 53.6, Obama 44.3

McDaniel is not going to win.  Whether Cochran or Childers wins next November depends on whether McDaniel makes a campaign-killing comment before the primary or after it.

Republicans in Mississippi are far more inelastic than they are in either of those, regardless of the Presidential numbers.

Edit: Heh, this was said many times before me.

Harry is absolutely right.

As a Mississippi Republican, I would vote for Childers or Taylor over McDaniel any day.

There are quite a good number of people down here who share similar sentiments as I do.

Mississippi hasn't completely shaken its Democratic roots. 

It'll be interesting to see. If the Tea Party actually manages to cost the GOP a Senate seat in Mississippi, that's likely to be finally the end of them.
