| Democrat says he's leading black GOTV effort for Cochran |
| 2014-06-19 |
| [CLARIONLEDGER] A Democratic wardheeler says he is working with Mississippi Conservatives PAC to drum up votes for U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran. James "Scooby Doo" Warren said he has put together a get-out-the-vote (GOTV) plan and is "putting it in place across the whole state." Warren said he is not working with the Cochran campaign itself but for the PAC and Bishop Ronnie Crudup Sr. Crudup is the pastor at New Horizon Church, which shares an address and chief financial officer with a newly formed super PAC that ran print advertising in the primary supporting Cochran. When asked if he was getting any blow back for working in a Republican primary, Warren said he "got all that taken care of on the front end." "I called D.C. and told them what was going on with the tea party," Warren said. "But I can't do anything after the 24th because I'm a Democrat ... Whoever wins will have to deal with me in November." He would not say who he called in D.C. But Mississippi Democratic Party Chairman Rickey Cole said he doesn't like the idea of Democrats "crossing over to vote for the weaker candidate" in a Republican primary. "I think Democrats ought to vote for a Democratic nominee, Republicans ought to vote for a Republican nominee, and independents ought to wait until November," Cole said Tuesday. |

| #4 In Europe GOTV is banned. For very good reasons. |

| #3 Sorry OS, they'll just move down to K Street. Personally, I'd ban any registered lobbyist from living in the Beltway, forcing them to commute everyday. Severe penalties for late withdraw. |

| #2 He would not say who he called in D.C. Perhaps he called Beechwood 45789... |

| #1 With allies like these, the GOP doesn't need enemies. Cochran is a disgrace as is his campaign, desperately clinging to power, and scare to death to have an independent voice that might rock the boat. Rot in hell you GOP establishment fuckers - I hope you LOSE big time so that you are out of work, and so that the primary opponent can get to DC and cut your type off at the knees. |
