Cochran - allegation of vote buying

[GunnyGene]

If true, this could be a really big fn deal (to borrow a phrase from shotgun Joe).

A black Mississippi pastor has emerged to claim Sen. Thad Cochran's (R-MS) campaign paid “thousands” of Democrats $15 each to vote in the June 24 GOP runoff – and that he was part of the scheme.

Rev. Stevie Fielder, an associate pastor at First Union Missionary Baptist Church in Meridan, Mississippi, says Cochran's campaign “told me to offer blacks $15 each and to vote for Thad.”

Fielder, who was paid by freelance journalist Charles C. Johnson for the story, provided a new outlet launched by Johnson—GotNews.com—with four text messages from a person purporting to be Cochran campaign staffer Saleem Baird.

The infighting between the GOP and Tea Party is causing them to lose focus.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least of the Dems are supporting the Tea Party Candidates just to force the GOP candidates to have to divert their funding to two battles while the Dem candidate walks away with the victory.

We're all just collateral damage their battle for power and control.
