Thad Cochran arrived at campaign stop to greet almost empty room of maybe 20 people not counting his entourage of Ruling Class cronies who believe the country belongs to lobbyists and not the people

 
5/30/14, "Can Thad Cochran Hang On?" NRO, Eliana Johnson, Long Beach City, Miss.

"Thad Cochran emerged from his campaign bus on Thursday under a gray sky and pouring rain. His entourage neatly symbolized how the lines are drawn in the primary battle from which he is hoping to emerge victorious on Tuesday....

In 15 minutes, Cochran, clad in a yellow rain jacket, made his rounds among the 20 or so people gathered to see him. The room was mostly empty and the energy was low, but those gathered looked on admiringly and paid their respects. The senator has largely avoided the media, even fleeing from CNN cameras earlier this week, and has refused to debate his challenger, state senator Chris McDaniel....

Trailing behind the senator at the grip-and-grin session at Long Beach City Hall were figures of Mississippi’s Republican political establishment: the state’s lieutenant governor, Tate Reeves; and 
Stuart Stevens a senior advisor to Mitt Romney's presidential campaign....He is one of many of the state’s political upper crust, former Mississippi governor Haley Barbour chief among them, who have teamed up to try to pull Cochran over the finish line."...
