I agree with McKay. It's time to move on.

I do not think she will withdraw from the race. Her ego will not let her.

I think she has a better chance of regrouping the LA party IF she loses big, and puts blame on Obama and company...

Either way, not good, but no one likes a quitter.

She should stay in until the end. Our side might not get the vote out.

She already has a good track record of winning in runoffs.

We have to get as many people out to vote for Cassidy as possible.

Otherwise the Dems will win this one.

Would be a smart thing to do now, therefore she won't.

Think of the mess Porky Landrieu could create if she declared today that she is changing her party registration and loyalty from democrat to republican !!!

The rats will give up on a Senate seat when pigs fly over the frozen wastes of hell. It’s like pulling teeth getting them to quit.

But don’t let me dissuade you Mary, or Mayo, or Fast Eddie, it’s waste of money having this runoff.

I believe she will lose whatever she does. But, I would like to see her change her allegiance for the current term and any future terms to the Republican party to show her displeasure of the Democrats.

Wow. That was brutal!

And I enjoyed every single word of it.

After this election, Landrieu will be politically radioactive here in Louisiana, much like Kathleen “MeMaw” Blanco’s legacy after Katrina.

No one will pay her a bit of attention any more.

Let the recall vote stand. Get out to vote en masse and send Mary down with a huge defeat and another message to DC. Make sure Louisiana patriots cast their votes. Take nothing for granted.

I don’t know why the MSM was so focused on 60 votes with respects to Keystone.

Of course Soetoro would veto it in a heartbeat.

67 votes are what is needed to get anything passed Soetoro for the next two years.

"She could in so doing create some space for her friend Hillary Clinton to run as a center-left candidate for president in 2016, and open a discussion Democrats need to have about how far left they can go without killing themselves."

Create space for her friend Hillary so her friend Hillary can pretend to be something called a "center-left" Democrat? Why are so many Democrats infatuated with Hillary? They can't all be that stupid -- can they?

Landrieu has two options: drop out now or go down in flames

With what Obama is going to do on immigration, I don’t think that Landrieu will get even 35%. Maybe THAT will send a message to the Jackass Party about backing this traitorous SOB.

"No one will pay her a bit of attention any more."

Isn't her brother Mitch mayor of New Orleans? Does he have any national ambitions?

To: Jimmy Valentine

Yes and maybe. Mitch, like any Louisiana politician, wants to be governor. Right now, he’s the highest polling Democrat in the state, but he still trails Vitter, who announced last January for governor. Recall that Mitch was Lt. Governor while Blanco was governor, and during the Katrina catastrophe.

The election is in the fall of 2015.

It is my considered opinion that Mary’s impending butt-whipping may rub off on Mitch.

Two things.

First, I WANT her to lose. And lose BIG. It would mean that all of the big Katrina demagogues were either humiliated out of office (Blanco) or in jail (Nagan and that other guy).

Second, blacks represent 31.5% of total registered voters and made up 31% of overall 2014 voters ... What % of black registered voters actually turned out and voted? It had to be a seriously high number ...

This reminds of that scene in “Aiplane!” where they line up to slap the hysterical woman.
