I was undecided but some of the things McDaniel said were a little, hmmm, maybe the best way to say it, a little far from my thinking.

I had to laugh at those McDaniel folks. They said Thad was too old. Well, I’m older and I sure could do a better job that most of those folks in government. I voted for the man nearest my age.

I’m new to voting. This got real nasty. I didn’t like it. I went for the one who was nicer. We need a little more politeness in our officials.

I didn’t vote the first time. This time, I got worried that the Tea Party would win. That guy is just mean spirited. So I voted. Yes, for an old guy past his prime. But at least he’s not mean and angry.

I voted before for Thad. But it’s time to clean house in Washington. Thad’s had his turn.

I was thinking about voting for the Tea Party guy. Then some of his supporters confronted me in town. They were scary, like maybe not right in the head. They said things about Cochran that aren’t true. I started paying attention. I voted for Cochran.
