	Jackson Free Press \| Cochran and Lott AWOL on Lynching Resolution
		Cochran is on record with a comment that sounds like he (a.) knew about the resolution and (b.) decided against co-sponsorship.
		Thad Cochran's claim (in this paper) that HE wasn't personally responsible for the votes and thus shouldn't be part of the apology rings both sour and hollow note.
		Cochran has taken the position that the bill deals with the failure of previous Senates on the lynching issue, something he shouldnít have to apologize for even though he would have supported anti-lynching measures had he been in the Senate during the civil rights era of the 1950s and 1960s.

	MS-Sen: Rumors Abound About Thad Cochran's Future
		I've been watching this race for going on a race with particular attention in the spring when Arlen Specter made a comment that many read to be an indication that his colleague Thad Cochran would not be seeking reelection this fall.
		But two sources in Washington, who are close to Cochran and declined to be named, say the senator may be leaning towards retirement because he has grown weary of the ongoing partisan battles on Capitol Hill.
		If Cochran were to in fact retire, as apparently many believe he will, the Democrats have a fairly strong opportunity to pick up his seat or at least put it in play.

		THAD COCHRAN, (R) Mississippi: I think one of the driving forces behind this is the fact that this investigation has been held up now for too long.
		THAD COCHRAN: Well, I think it also reflects a concern that the Democrats were beginning to accuse us of trying to hide something and not want to look into the broad range of campaign activities that could have been improper, as well as illegal.
		THAD COCHRAN: We realize that the Justice Department has a task force of prosecutors and that there are approximately 25 FBI agents investigating some of these matters.

		But no. Thad Cochran is a former Eagle Scout, a white-haired Baptist lawyer from Mississippi whose demeanour is commonly described as "courtly." Cochran is the senior Senator from Mississippi, a career pol who wins his re-elections by large, cozy margins.
		Cochran pre-dates the savage trench-warfare epoch of his junior Senator, Trent Lott, and the politically extinguished Newt Gingrich.
		Cochran's been made to look bad == after all, it's true that he is wasting money unnecessarily, and surprise amendments are always a cheap shot, and when you come right down to it, Senator Cochran is not a very bright man == but he can afford it, and he probably considers the humiliation worth it.

		Cochran has carefully avoided showing any bruised feelings, but certainly it would take the forebearance of a Jobe to endure having one's ego trampled as his must have been.

		Thad's endorsement dramatically increases the Senate's chances of passing meaningful campaign reform in the wake of the explosion of independent attack ads and the record-shattering level of soft money that infiltrated campaigns last year," said McCain.
		"Thad Cochran is a respected senior member of the Republican caucus, and his support of our bill shows that enactment of campaign reform early in this Congress is inevitable," said Feingold.
		"Senator Cochran's recognition that the current campaign finance system is fatally flawed and that our bill is a fair approach to reform is a signal to the Senate and the country that the time has come to get rid of soft money once and for all.
