'Her campaign is running on fumes': Final Senate race looks to be a Louisiana laugher as internal polls show GOP's Bill Cassidy opening up 16-point lead over Sen. Mary Landrieu

Bill Cassidy would bring total Republican pickup to a whopping 10 seats Landrieu is hoping a long-awaited vote on the Keystone XL pipeline will improve her fortunes Poll was leaked in Washington to send a message to energy lobbyists who think she can prevail Survey is an 'automated' phone poll that Landrieu's campaign considers less credible than traditional surveys conducted by voice 'Her campaign is running on fumes,' the pollster told MailOnline
Democratic Senator Mary Landrieu is trailing her Republican challenger by a giant 16-point margin in a runoff for one of Louisiana's two U.S. Senate seats, according to poll results obtained by MailOnline.
The survey, commissioned by GOP Rep. Bill Cassidy's campaign, was leaked to media in order to fire a shot over the senator's bow and send a signal to energy lobbyists that her ship is taking on water.
It suggests that Democrats' worst fears have been realized even though Landrieu edged Casssidy by 1 percentage point on Election Day.

Why is the Democrat establishment not fighting for her seat ?
It doesn’t make sense.
Lost cause ?
or
Back room deal ?
I smell a RAT.
Since the old ‘race card’ ploy didn’t work she’s betting the Keystone Pipeline card might be her ace in the hole. But Mary herself is the Queen of the Joker card and we all know who he is so the deck is stacked against her — cash in the chips Mary. And lay off the potato chips too Miss Porky.
” Dec. 6 runoff Win by GOP Rep. Bill Cassidy would bring total Republican pickup to a whopping 10 seats”
I keep seeing this, but with Gillespie conceding Virginia, it should be 9 pickups. Did I miss one?
There theme song should be “Running on empty” by Jackson Browne.
“It ain’t over till its over”..
The demodummies have cheated and won going away before down there and she was trailing then too. Lets wait till the dust settles and then start shouting.
Make sure all you Louisiana folks vote on Dec 6th and urge your fellow conservative citizens to do the same. A blowout vote sends the message in bold headers.
Looks like Mary is going to have to tighten her belt a little to keep her campaign going.
She certainly DIDN'T have enough clout to do anything when she was chairwoman in the majority party. What makes anyone think she will have even more clout as a simple member of a minority party?
The coming of ‘the bacon-wrapped shrimp intervention’ for mary landrieu, although by now too physically evident, is fast coming!
I expect Cassidy to take this, however, in the scheme of things with the spineless, leadership we have - what difference does it make?
Landriue is DONE!!
If for no other reason than electing Bill Cassidy means Louisiana oil/energy interests (plus the Louisianians employed by them)will be plugged into the new Republican dominated Senate.
In the new Senate it is better to have a Republican representing you than a do-nothing Dem like Landrieu
