Incumbent Thad Cochran, 76, is well-known for his love of pork-barrel spending and could easily lose a race decided by conservative primary voters. But establishment Republicans are now sounding the alarm about the Tea Party challenger’s temperament in light of newly-surfaced audio of McDaniel making impolitic remarks on a radio show he once hosted.
