DAILY JOURNAL: McDaniel meritless post-election campaign ends but not his political martyrdom

DAILY JOURNAL: OUR OPINION: Ruling should end McDaniel odyssey

In the wake of the Mississippi Supreme Court’s rejection on Friday of Chris McDaniel’s challenge of his loss to Thad Cochran in the Republican senatorial runoff, Mississippians could take heart in a statement from McDaniel attorney Chris Tyner.

“While we disagree with the majority … we are glad the Supreme Court finally ruled so Mississippi conservatives can move forward into 2015,” Tyner said.

Maybe that means McDaniel will finally end his meritless post-election campaign to have the election results overturned. It probably doesn’t mean he’ll give up his campaign for political martyrdom, however, and actually concede the race.
