Saxby Chambliss has committed the mortal sin of defying Grover Norquist. --> http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1112/84176.html?hp=l4

I still hate him for the nasty way he ran against Max Cleland, but as a legislator he is probably the sanest Republican officeholder in Georgia. Their whole House GOP delegation is awful and Nathan Deal is a Dixiecrat convert. The last really solid Republican they had was Paul Coverdell.

If Cochran doesn't retire, I believe he will face a Tea Party challenge, but I give him a 2/3 chance of surviving it.

If Cochran retires, I imagine the Tea Party candidate will defeat whichever of the Three Stooges from the House runs for the seat.

Thad Cochran is basically an understated version of Robert Byrd - he sends home plenty of "gifts" for his state, but he isn't narcissistic enough to put his name all over them like Byrd did. I think most Mississippi Republicans are aware that were it not for federal dollars being redistributed towards them, their state would be even more of a third world country than it is, even if they don't say it out loud.
