As Josh Marshall points out, this isn’t (at this point) a TV ad, just a web ad. Still, it’s a sign that Thad Cochran’s campaign is ignoring Republican fears that attacks on Chris McDaniel could soften the challenger up for Travis Childers in November.

We’ll soon see if this ad or something similar turns up on the TV screens of God-fearing Mississippi Republicans. In any event, it looks like Cochran is no longer campaigning on an implicit promise to give every runoff voter his or her very own earmark.
