2. I remember one congressional primary years ago (I forget which state)

The primary was in September, after Labor Day. The two main Democratic candidates hacked away at each other with nasty ads, soundbites, dirty mailers, etc. On primary day no candidate got %50, so there was a runoff. Two more weeks of nasty campaigning. The runoff was even closer and the candidate who lost refused to concede and demanded a recount. That bled into early October, but the recount found that the results were legit. Still, the loser refuse to concede, much less endorse his opponent for the general election (you know, the real election), and filed a lawsuit. The election went on as scheduled and the lawsuit was quietly dismissed around Thanksgiving, but the damage had been done. The Republican won in November, as the supporters of the defeated Democrat took a walk on election day.

3. Looks like Cochran

is going to win this 97% in and he holds a 4 thousand vote lead.

4. Anyone know the Democratic numbers ...

in that district?

The closer the primary, the greater the chance of the loser mounting a 3rd-party run! Maybe enough to allow a Democrat to slip in.
