She's screwed unless Cassidy has an Akin moment. The guy has faults, but will never have that moment.

Well, in Landreiu's adds, Cassidy looks like a psychopath. In Cassidy's own ads, he looks like a child molester. At this point, a runoff is really too close to call between the two candidates. Cassidy has done nothing but give reasons why not to vote for Mary, no reasons why to vote for himself. I think that Cassidy will still make the runoff, but have a surprisingly bad showing in the Jungle Primary, with Mary getting around 45%. This runoff will be very tough for Cassidy, who has next to no name recognition or presence outside of Baton Rouge to go toe to toe with Mary, especially if she can paint him as a flip-flopper.
