LOL, Bennie Thompson ain't going anywhere. This isn't a serious poll, this is Republican trolling.

I'm not that surprised by much in this poll actually, and I dont think it is too far off. I'm sure a lot of the undecided will break towards the more established candidate, but Robert Shuler Smith is a hugely polarizing figure with a large base among black voters who think hes the best. I could absolutely see him at 34%, I dont think he'd climb much higher but I could see him at 34% today and 34% on election day

Democratic party in Mississippi is, mostly (and more and more with every passing year), "a Black party". That's reflected in polls. When about 60% of your primary electorate is Black, Black candidates have very serious advantage... The only problem: with ultrapolarized  (by race) voting in the state they almost always have zero chances in general statewide elections (very qualified Democratic candidate, Gary Anderson, lost races for Treasurer in 2003 and Insurance commissioner in 2007 mostly because of that, while his white Democratic predeccessor as Insurance commissioner, conservative George Dale, usually won elections getting 70-80% of vote). At the same time, typical remaining white Democratic candidates (usually - moderate on economy and socially conservative) have big problems in primaries.

NYT reports that Cochran will not consider resigning until the spending bill is finished next month.

What's that obsession of Republican leaders with Bryant appointing himself?
It's not like Mississippi is a state where it's extremely difficult to find a qualified GOPer to hold down a senate seat.

That's because establishment GOP doesn't have many options here.

I like Trent Kelly, but don't particularly like his chances in a GOP special primary election vs McDaniel

In other news, McDaniel is not yet definitively "out" for running against Wicker in 2018 but he has until 5:00 p.m. Thursday to decide.

McDaniel will announce against Wicker tomorrow night.

Given that the CL is a historically bad publication and the lack of discipline or cohesion among McDaniel staff/surrogates, the Wednesday announcement could just as likely be about running for Lt Gov in 2019.

Also, why would McDaniel prefer to challenge Wicker instead of wait for the special?

Because the Cochran is resigning rumors may not have any truth to them.

Against Wicker, though it'd be interesting to see what McDaniel does if Cochran announces he is resigning. Maybe he'd drop out and switch races.

He'll probably win. Adultery is no longer a sin in the eyes of the "values voters."

Doubtful.  Wicker has a lot more organization/money than Thad did at the same point in 2014.  Plus, McDaniel is old news and has pretty high unfavorables.  I think Wicker will wipe the floor, somewhere around 60% in the primary.

But Wicker won't have thousands of Democrats voting for Gene Taylor in the CD4 Republican primary also voting for him like Thad had.

And the stupid flag issue really fires up the deplorables.
