Happy Wednesday.

Election stuff. Congratulations to CAC and his team. The AOSHQ Decision Desk called the James Lankford win in Oklahoma 12 minutes before the AP. The Decision Desk also correctly called the Thad Cochran win in Mississippi a whopping 68 minutes before the AP. Nice work all around; I saw a lot of big names citing AOSHQDD on Twitter.

On Rep. Lankford, a rebuke for national Tea Party groups, Sens. Cruz and Lee, and Gov. Palin, but not for local Tea Party groups. Lankford and Shannon are fairly indistinguishable on the issues, making this the lamest of the attempts to label one candidate the "Establishment" pick.

On Sen. Cochran, Chris McDaniel has not conceded yet, although there's no recount procedure in Mississippi and no way he's going to make up the approximately 4,500 vote deficit with uncounted absentee ballots. McDaniel's speech last night was an angry rebuke to the Republican Party and to liberal Democrats. Here's the video.

Gov. Palin was also bemoaning the state of the GOP on Hannity

I'm sure we'll have more on this later.

Don't forget, it's another Supreme Court decision day. Odds are good we'll get one of the big ones.
