Runoff election Louisiana (D) Landrieu & (R) Cassidy 12/6

[whitehall]

Nobody seems to be watching and that's always a negative for the democrat. Another senate seat for republicans?

 

[Ernie S.]

By a healthy margin. I'd venture a guess of 10 points or more. Rasmussen had it 56-41 Cassidy on 11/20.

 

[S.J.]

We're watching, and it WILL be another GOP Senate seat.

 

[Mad Scientist]

Mary Landfill has been left for dead by her Party.

 

[Ernie S.]

One would think that POTUS would stop by Baton Rouge to help. Could it be Mary fears her poll numbers would drop lower?

 

[mdk]

It doesn't look very promising for Landrieu.

 

[Ernie S.]

It, however, does look very promising for the people of Louisiana.

 

[blastoff]

Miss Piggy is toast. After years of sitting on her fat ass regarding the pipeline it suddenly became the focus of her existence after she failed to keep her seat in the November election.

So we'll have yet another Senate seat thanks to Barry and the evil dim cabal.

 

[Rozman]

The only question left seems to be by just how much she will lose by.....
Maybe triple digits.... heh heh

 

[Papageorgio]

Cassidy will win, thanks President Obama!

 

[mamooth]

Every senator who ran away from Obama ... lost. Voters don't like Republican-lite candidates or cowards.

That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever ... Because voter turnout was higher and they voted Republican.

Louisiana was one of the 14 states that had a higher than average turnout in the 2014 midterms ... In fact the highest increase.

2014 midterm election turnout lowest in 70 years PBS NewsHour

Turnout increased in 14 states: Turnout actually increased in 14 states, plus D.C., from 2010-2014. In 10 of the 14, there were competitive to potentially competitive Senate races. In nine of the 14, there were governors’ races. Here’s where turnout increased, ranked by biggest increase:

1. Louisiana: +12.9% (38.9%-43.9%)
2. Nebraska: +10.1% (37.5%-41.3%)
3. Arkansas: +9.9% (37.5%-41.2%)
4. Wisconsin: +9.4% (52.0%-56.9%)
5. Maine: +7.4% (55.2%-59.3%)
6. New Hampshire: +6.8% (45.7%-48.8%)
7. Alaska: +6.6% (51.9%-55.3%)
8. Washington, D.C.: +4.8% (28.9%-30.3%)
9. Colorado: +4.7% (50.6%-53.0%)
10. Kentucky: +4.2% (42.4%-44.2%)
11. North Carolina: +3.8% (39.2%-40.7%)
12. Florida: +3.4% (41.7%-43.1%)
13. Kansas: +2.6% (41.7%-42.8%)
14. Iowa: +1.4% (49.9%-50.6%)
15. Oregon: +0.2% (52.6%-52.7%)


If there was a 12.9% increase in voter turnout ... Then it is safe to say more people showed up to vote than normal and didn't stay home.

If people turned away from Senator Landrieu because she didn't support President Obama ... Then why the heck would they vote for two GOP candidates that both had this as a cornerstone of their individual campaign platforms ...

Didn't support Obama? She voted with Obama 97% of the time. That's why she's going to lose.

 

[Papageorgio]

Every senator who ran away from Obama ... lost. Voters don't like Republican-lite candidates or cowards.

She was lock step with Obama the whole way. The reason she couldn't win out right was because she couldn't separate herself far enough from Obama.

 

[airplanemechanic]

Every senator who ran away from Obama ... lost. Voters don't like Republican-lite candidates or cowards.

And everyone who ran against Obama won.

Just caught her in another one of her subversive lies...good for you!

[mamooth]

Democrats who act like liberals win, Democrats who act like Republicans lose. The kooks here know that. It's why they're in such a rage. If Democrats believe their big lie, Republicans win, hence they push their big lie.

Landrieu has always been a wholly-owned subsidiary of the petroleum industry. If you were a corporation needing to buy a vote, nobody in the senate sold it cheaper than Landrieu. If she was the deciding vote in the senate, someone might care about her, but since she's not, "good riddance" is the overwhelming feeling on the left. No more Landrieu giving Republicans excuses to claim "bipartisan support".

 

[JakeStarkey]

Mary is an energy slave; all LA politicians bow before energy. Cassidy will be a better slave.

 

[birddog]

More "energy slaves" will help if they follow through with proper voting, which she did not do. Energy independence through fossil fuels will allow us to have a greatly improved economy, and less of a welfare state that democrats/progressives depend on.
