Hey why not? The hag Lisa Murkowski did in 2010, so why not Chris McDaniel? After all the shenanigans, dirty tricks and race hustler by Thad Cochran and his despicable staff to smear Chris McDaniel, this is a real option. Democrats will vote for the Democrat in November, not cross over and vote for Cochran, so why not? McDaniel easily crushed Cochran win the Republican vote. It’s estimated that about 35,000 Democrats voted for Cochran last night, his margin of victory was about 6,500 votes. Dan Riehl at Breitbart brought up the possibility of McDaniel running as a write in candidate:

It’s increasingly clear that Democrat votes, particularly from Mississipi’s African American community helped Thad Cochran eek out a win over McDaniel in the GOP primary. Those votes would most likely go to a Democrat in the Fall, meaning McDaniel may have a good chance at winning in a three man race.
As Conservative radio host Mark Levin pointed out on Twitter, the DC GOP establishment may have broken the Republican / Conservative alliance once adn for all given their tactics in propping up Cochran in Mississippi when the Republican base so clearly had rejected him.
If the dumb rubes in Mississippi are dumb enough to vote for a Democrat over McDaniel, then screw ’em.
