The unexpected almost always happens – but who’d have expected this: Down in Mississippi the Tea Party has been battling it out with the Republican Establishment, trying to whip Senator Thad Cochran and when all the votes were counted the Tea Party candidate led Cochrane by an eyelash 49.6% to 49%.
The surprise?
On Election Day African-American Democrats ‘crossed over’ to vote in the Republican Primary – for Thad Cochran. Helping him make the runoff.
Which is about as unexpected as it gets.
