One of the PAC's has a new ad airing in Baton Rouge. At least it's new to me. It shows Mary letting out a sort of giggle/cackle when she answers a question about supporting ObamaCare. Then they keep repeating her cackle in the background.

Probably the most effective TV ad against her so far.

I want to believe she's through....

Anyone who supports Mary Landrieu, supports Barack Obama

I could almost believe it, if she hadn't "replaced" her campaign manager.

Can't former Senators and Reps keep campaign funds and convert it to personal use, once they're out of office?

But she'll make so much joining Trent Lott and John Breaux at Squire, Patton and Boggs.

Personal use? No.

But they can give it to charity or donate to other politicians and PACs.

You can see all the puppies and sunshine you want with her campaign, but she is headed to a runoff and will lose to Cassidy. Her only chance was to out it away early, which is why she spent 3.5 million of her COH from April to June. She needed to put Cassidy down and rehabilitate her image. It didn't work. She's stuck at 39-42 in the jungle and Cassidy is consistently around 50 in a two way.

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

Move onto a race the dems can win like CO or NC.

Street money in New Orleans and GOTV efforts in the River Parishes, as well as a fairly decent black voting block in EBRP can deliver her a formidable vote number.

The problem is that effort takes more and more money. Mitch will make sure the busses run in NOLA. Gonna be interesting to see if Cleo's run in EBRP.

She's not done yet. Katrina regrettably did not wash away dirty street money in NOLA. They can't deliver 100,000+ vote swings in Orleans anymore, but it's a chunk of votes still.

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.

mary was for Obamacare and was paid off to cast the deciding vote and now she is a critic of Obamacare - and she is going to try and make Cassidy out to be a flip flopper?

The runoff will be easier for Cassidy to position himself since he won't have anyone running and attacking him from the far right side.

Why do ya'll focus so much on this kind of stuff and not on the real issue of some of the other very important issues.
#1 Quite a few white women will vote for Mary.
#2 She has done suprisingly well in Acadiana in years past.
#3 People like Boysie Bollinger are spending money and making backroom deals to push for leaders in the oil and gas industry to campaign for and vote for her.
#4 Many educated people get turned off by the simpletons who throw out the race crap over and over in this topic, so they either stay home or vote for ML.

it begins. What an ignorant statement. I guess you need to set up your excuses now, though.

Ok, maybe he's not trying real hard.
It does make me sick that he did the commercial for her.
And don't pretend that alot of people on the oil and gas and related fields aren't giving her money to hedge their bets in case she wins.

I thought this stupidity has died but that's impossible in the mind of a Republican. SHE never got a penny.

Let's address he meme. Mary was "paid off" by getting federal funds for her state. There's not a senator in DC which has not attached pork to a bill. And she would have voted for it anyway.
