Thad Cochran Chills

Mississippi Sen. Thad Cochran recently told the Boston Globe that supporting the presumptive Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain would be a matter of great discomfort. "The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He is erratic. He is hotheaded. He loses his temper."

In a statement released Thursday, Cochran said: "I am supporting John McCain for the Republican nomination for president. As for McCain's previous unfitness, the senator said: "That's all behind me."
