Yup. If she was 45% or higher to all others, she’d be in a strong position. However, Hollis, Maness, and Cassidy voters by and large will cross over between the three. I’ve yet to meet a Maness supporter who said Cassidy or Hollis were off the table and vice versa for all three.
It’s at the point where Republicans are choosing their favs. After the first election, they’ll unite. They’re also charged up. Her biggest asset is a political machine that can mobilize and cheat (Woody Jenkins can vouch for that).
That she’s under 40% with a negative over 50% is cause for celebration.
I think if they can get her into a runoff then there is a
good chance she’ll be defeated. But the Landrieu name
still is well known in SE LA.
