J Street Blues

Thad Cochran, the only Repubican Senator who initially agreed to "host" J Street's gala dinner, reportedly has withdrawn. It had seemed to me that Sen. Cochran, who has solid record of supporting Israel, had been misled, and that apparently is the case. J Street represented itself as pro-Israel and Cochran therefore signed on. After reviewing J Street, he decided to sign off, as we hoped he would.

Two years ago, Fleming went after now-retired Senator Trent Lott and was was handily trounced by Trent. It looks like the same result is in the cards for the former state senator. In Mississippi's other senate race, recently appointed incumbent Roger Wicker (R) owns a statistically insignificant 1-point lead over former Governor Ronnie Musgrove (D). Musgrove's status as a former governor provides him the name recognition Fleming sorely lacks. Nonetheless, Wicker ... Read Full Story

This would be a huge loss for the state if Thad Cochran does decide to step down. Here is what was reported in The Hill today : The senior Republican on the Senate Appropriations Committee, Thad Cochran, will soon announce whether he will retire from the upper chamber, a decision that could further shake up a powerful panel and even give Democrats hope of picking up a seat in the GOP stronghold of Mississippi.

And again it's Mississippi GOP Senator Thad Cochran who brings up JMac's infamous...er..."aggressive" streak. You'll remember that it was the conservative Cochran who tried to thwart McCain's primary bid by regaling an eager press (and GOP competitors) with tales of JMac's blue streaked rants in the Senate and his "disturbing" ...
