It was one of the most bizarre, toughest races I've ever been involved in.

And McDaniel was an example, basically, as Haley Barber said, of a hostile takeover of the Republican Party in Mississippi, because he was largely funded by outside groups like Club for Growth that were attacking Cochran for being there too long, but also being a big spender.

Rather than fight that, we ran right into it.

And we just made all these ads about, OK, Cochran got you this.

Cochran got you that.

You know, the same when Haley ran, he was attacked as being a lobbyist.

And we go, don't we need a lobbyist?

This is what he did.

Yes, he'll be a really good lobbyist for Mississippi.

And then when Katrina hit, it proved to be the case.

And it was a very dramatic, tough race.

It went into a runoff where McDaniel led the runoff.

You have to get 50 percent.

And only by a couple of thousand votes did he not get 50 percent.

And then this thing that is not supposed to happen in politics happened.

More people voted in the runoff than in the first election.

Part of that was that there were a lot of people who were Cochran supporters who didn't think he could lose.

So they left a lot of votes on the table.
