This is completely accurate. She even said that Republicans would try to twist this into her playing the race card. The most depressing thing is that they did it anyway, and it's likely to work.
Once again, Republicans play on the emotions of the ignorant. If conservatives would only recognize that both sides make and buy into emotional arguments, we'd all be be better off.

How is this quote relevant to 2014?

Here is the quote from NBC News.

She tried to walk it back by also noting that the President's energy policies (rightfully, in her opinion) earned him a lot of ire in the state but her major quote was a political calculation, not some philosophical look at how the real world works.
And it was ill advised but probably too late to do any real damage before the runoff.

I'll be very very honest with you. The South has not always been the friendliest place for African-Tmericans. It's been a difficult time for the president to present himself in a very positive light as a leader. It''s not always been a good place for women to present ourselves. It's more of a conservative place. So we've had to work a little bit harder on that, but you know, the people trust me, I believe. Really they do. Trust me to do the right thing for the state.

How is this "completely accurate" when she neglects to mention it was HER PARTY, the DEM PARTY that harassed, denigrated, and terrorized Republicans for decades, the same decades she says was unfriendly. That's why MLK was a Republican.

And whose fault is that? fricking Democrats have completely run the South up until the last decade.

Yes, imagine a female being a three-term Senator from Louisiana - Crazy
