Cochran casts absentee ballot Saturday in Oxford

U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., voted absentee Saturday in Oxford in his race against state Sen. Chris McDaniel of Ellisville.

Cochran, 76, in Congress since 1973, is in the fight of his political life, a brutal, too-personal Republican primary that has drawn his bedridden wife into the melee and resulted in criminal charges against some of his opponent’s supporters.

He was campaigning in northern counties of the state Saturday in the final push of his campaign.
