    Seeing as the democrat and republican candidates teach at the same school, I think the public deserves to see an academic decathalon, ala Billy Madison style, to judge the true quality of these gentlemen.

    Can it be like Dan and Dave where they both fail?

    I actually think this will be a refreshingly positive campaign, except for the third party smear jobs that are bound to hit.

    It's possible. Cantor can't run as an independent because of a "sore loser" rule, but I'm sure someone with a bigger public persona could.

    There is no way these guys are ready for this. They are going to get chewed up and spit out. They are not that good at lying yet and it will be only a matter of time before they say something that will be turned into a weapon against them. Just look at how Yahoo attacked a 23 year old before the dust of the primary had even settled.

    The sharks smell blood in the water.

    This is a another good example of why term limits are needed ... but it's also sad because there are signs of severe short term memory loss in this example ...

    Senator Thad Cochran Either Didn't Know — or Forgot — About Eric Cantor's Loss

    Depending on the order in which a pair of interviews with embattled Mississippi Thad Cochran were conducted, the longtime se either didn't know, or totally forgot about, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's stunning primary defeat on Tuesday.

    The story of Cantor's loss is no doubt the biggest one to emerge out of this year's midterms, and is an unprecedented electoral upset in the history of Congress. It should have a particular resonance for Team Cochran. Cochran is an "establishment" Republican who is about to proceed to a run-off election against a conservative, Tea Party-backed challenger, who is running on a platform similar to that of the conservative, Tea Party-backed challenger to took out Cantor earlier this week. Cochran himself came in second in the first round of his primary against challenger Chris McDaniel, but Mississippi rules require the two to face off again in a runoff primary on June 24.

    So, many were shocked to see Fox News's interview with Cochran where he appears to be completely unaware of Cantor's loss. According to Fox News, the interview was taped "two days after Eric Cantor’s primary loss received wide-spread national attention." It aired on Friday.
