Landrieu says she's 'extremely disappointed' in help she's received from DSCC

I'm sure they were disappointed in her Nov 4 performance.

I'm extremely disappointed in you, Mary. You walked away from your constituents who were clearly against Obamacare.

To the tune of more than 60% against it.

But you voted for it.

You were supposed to represent the state, Mary.

Coffee is for closers, Mary.

Getting 43% against two Republican challengers in an election where your party just got wiped out isn't good enough to win no matter how much money gets thrown at the race.

This should tell you how much of a political whore she was to national democrats.

Lie down with stray dogs, you're gonna get up with fleas.

She's disappointed Louisiana by the way she has voted over the past 18 years!

Told you guys this weeks ago. Hung out with a staff member of Sherrod Brown and she sad because in DC Mary is always fighting for Louisiana as opposed to the absent Vitter but the DSCC sees the only path to victory would be a huge all in like they did in 2002 with Mary when she came back from a primary where her Republican opponents had more than 51%. But back then the Senate was 51-49. Now it's pointless. Costs outweigh chance of victory in a red state.

In two years, 24 Republican seats are up while only 10 Democratic seats are up.


Red states with Democratic incumbents:

None

Blue states with Republican incumbents:

Illinois - Kirk

New Hampshire - Ayotte

Penn - Toomey

Wisconsin - Johnson

Purple states with Democratic incumbents:

Purple states with Republican incumbents:

Iowa - Grassley

Missouri - Blunt

Ohio - Portman

Florida - Rubio (says he won't run for reelection if he runs for pres)

Funny Huh!

Why'd she vote for Obamacare, then?

---

Because her state was in the bottom 10 of uninsured in the country in 2009 LINK

and Health Insurance costs were increasing every year for employers:



And because she sponsored almost the exact same bill the year before, the Healthy Americans Act and Republicans were right on board with it:
