Yes, You Should Support Rob Maness for US Senate
redstate.com ^ | 9/26/14 | Erick Erickson

Posted on 09/26/2014 10:44:27 AM PDT by cotton1706

Look at how the NRSC races have gone. We may lose Kansas because the NRSC did not vet their candidate there. We may very well lose North Carolina too. But the NRSC told us their candidate there was the best candidate.

Now, in Louisiana, the NRSC is telling us not to support Rob Maness for the Senate. “Trust us,” they tell us. Look at their track record.

I am supporting Rob Maness and you should too.

Both Cassidy and Landrieu are creatures of Washington, D.C. Hell, Landrieu is routinely cited as a Washington, D.C. resident. Cassidy too is a creature of Washington.

The only real outsider who will go to Washington and not be a part of Washington is Rob Maness. But he needs your help to get there. I want you to do what you can to help Rob.

This is going to be a tough fight, but Rob continues to show improvement in the polls and Cassidy continues to decline. Cassidy is a poor candidate and, given the NRSC’s track record, likely to lose to Landrieu.

We can win the Louisiana Senate seat, but not with another creature of Washington.

Here’s what I see for Nov. 4 outcome:

Landrieu, 42
Cassidy, 36
Maness, 19
Others, 3

I’m nervous that if Landrieu makes it into the run off she’ll win again.

I agree.

The last poll I saw had Cassidy at 51, Moon’s daughter at 38.

Someone tell me why Maness is a winning candidate.

Cassidy at 51 was projected for the December runoff election. Many LA Republicans are openly or clandestinely for Landrieu. Maness has his good points, but he trails too badly to enter a runoff.

The only republicans I know supporting Landrieu are those with companies supportedby large federal contracts. Thats like maybe 3 or 4 companies. Not sure what your source is for “many”.

Nothing annoys me more that fat boy Erickson telling me who to support. STFU.

Maness, longtime Pentagon employee and two-year Louisiana resident isn’t a creature of Washington? Please. He’d be crushed by Landrieu one-on-one. Cassidy’s not very special, but he could actually win.

If this was a regular Primary, like the other 49 States have, I’d say Maness would have a good shot at being one of the top two due to low turnout and the fact that Conservatives vote. But, being on the National Election Day, Nov. 4th, one can only hope. But, anything can happen in the next 38 days.

Cassidy is a phony, RINO supported, non-inspiring candidate. And, Senator Thunder Thighs...... well what can I say? She needs to go.

Wow. You think Landrieu will get 42 percent in the Jungle Primary? Are there that many stupid people in Louisiana?

No she won’t. People in LA remember it was her being bribed and being the deciding vote that passed Obamacare. And, in a run-off, turnout is low. That favors Conservatives/Republicans.

Where in the hell did you see that? I’ll have to have a credible source before I believe it. Not saying you’re not telling the truth, but, just sayin’ I question your source’s accuracy. Don’t misunderstand me. Cassidy would not be my first choice, but if he can take Senator Thunder Thighs out in the Primary....... HALLELUJAH!

Then why are they calling themselves a Republican? I mean, if Maness was taking her on instead of Cassidy, we know RINOs prefer a Dem to a Conservative, but Cassidy is part of the GOP Establishment.

One of the Landrieu “Republicans” is former State Senator Mike Michot of Lafayette; another is “Boysie” Bollinger, son of a former Republican state chairman. Another former chairman, Pat Brister, has warmly praised Landrieu but not have actually endorsed her.

The 51-38 was reported as a projected December tabulation between Cassidy and Landrieu.

Cassidy is a former Dukakis-Landrieu supporter, but he has had a conservative record in the House except for his support for hate-crimes legislation. He probably doesn’t understand the ramifications of such legislation.

“Hate Crimes” Legislation.... what a freakin’ joke. Every crime, especially murder and assault is a hate crime.

That same poll with all the candidates had it as:

Asked of 617 likely voters --Fox News 9/14-9/16

Another Democrat      4%
Another Republican    5%
Bill Cassidy (R)     35%
Mary Landrieu (D)    31%
Rob Maness (R)        7%
Brannon McMorris (L)  2%
Wouldn't vote         0%
Other                 0%
Undecided            16%

The 51% - 38% was heads up question between
Cassidy/Landrieu which isn't the race on Nov. 4.
