Republican infighting may be handing the Dems a Senate win

GOP infighting could boost Landrieu in Louisiana | MSNBC

Republicans had hoped to have a one-on-one race against Landrieu, looking to beat her outright on Election Day. But now they fret that any GOP infighting could only boost Landrieu. And while getting 50% outright looks like a longshot for the Democrat, either GOP candidate could limp into a runoff damaged if they’re being hammered by both sides.

“This is a critical seat for Republican hopes to win back the Senate, and it’s stunning that the Senate Conservatives Fund is working to keep it in Harry Reid’s hands,” said GOP strategist Brian Walsh, who served as communications director for the National Republican Senatorial Committee the past two cycles, where several weak candidates emerged from primaries to lose winnable seats.

“[Landrieu] is sitting on a sizeable warchest,” warned Walsh, who has been highly critical of SCF’s strategy in the past. “This is not Texas’ last cycle, and it’s not Mississipi this cycle. This is a very critical seat, and it’s remarkable that this is where they’re looking to make their fight.”

This is just the beginning. The internal GOP war is going to bring some real RW extremist into primaries. The establishment GOP now has a gun pointed to its head. They have a very difficult choice to make. Fight or succumb to the TP demands....and lose in the general. This battle is just beginning. Wait until Rove breaks out his war chest. BUTTER YOUR POPCORN FOLKS! IT IS GOING TO GET GOOD!

So Landrieu's fat ass is called a "warchest" now, huh?

This is how David Vitter got elected in 2004, only it was the opposite situation with two Democrats duking it out in the general, putting Vitter over the threshold to avoid a run off.

Defeating Landrieu is no slam dunk for the GOP. The Landrieus are a popular political family in Louisiana and Mary has had little problem getting reelected since she first won the seat.
