The Palin curse is spreading like a virus. This time infecting Mississippi.

More pearls of wis-dumb from the Wasilla Wendigo's Facebook page:

Chris McDaniel has a proven record of fighting for conservative principles in the Mississippi State Senate. He has been a champion of limited government, free enterprise, civic participation, reduced tax rates, a strong national defense, and a return to the original checks and balances of the Constitution. He’s a proven fighter for the rights of We the People. (Who the people?) For example, he’s taken on special interests in defense of our private property rights against the abuse of eminent domain, and he’s introduced legislation to protect our 2nd Amendment rights against federal government overreach. (Ahh, a gun nut. That explains it.)

The Mississippi Senate race is a clear fight for the future of the Republican Party against the entrenched interests of the permanent political class in D.C. We desperately need new conservative leaders in the U.S. Senate who will serve with passion, intelligence, and integrity. Chris McDaniel is just such a leader. He is in this race not for career, but for conservative change. (Funny how she equates government sabotage with "conservative change." I believe that was the same kind of change once embraced by John Wilkes Booth.)

Interestingly enough McDaniel is challenging Republican stalwart Senator Thad Cochran, who has been serving the state since 1978.

From all accounts the race has split the state between the brash Tea party upstarts and the traditional conservatives who value longevity and experience in their politicians.

Many think that McDaniel has a real shot, thought one GOP strategist was quoted as saying:

"Senator McDaniel is ineffective in the state senate and not really able to get much accomplished in the state senate. So it's hard to think why he deserves to be promoted."

Still, he continues to hold his own against Cochran.

So if McDaniel's fortunes take a turn for the worse, and he finds himself suddenly plummeting in the polls, we will know exactly where to lay the blame.
