Mary Landrieu is dedicated to the well being of Louisiana residents. Even her vote for the Affordable Care Act, which is being used to attack her, reflects concern for the hundreds of thousands of her constituents who lack health insurance.
Seniority matters in the Senate. Although Democrats lost control of the chamber in the midterm elections, Sen. Landrieu would be one of the highest-ranking members of the minority party in the next Congress. Her track record demonstrates her ability to work successfully with Republicans on a variety of matters.
Louisiana needs Sen. Landrieu's knowledge, energy and influence in Washington as much as ever.

Well, if that's such a great thing, doesn't it stand to reason it would be an even better thing if Bill Cassidy was elected? Isn't it safe to assume he'd work even better with Republicans than Landrieu?

Now that the NYT has published Darren Wilson’s address, perhaps they can assign a team to discover Mary Landrieu’s.

Won’t have a lick of impact on the election. This will serve only to make newspapers less relevant than they already are.

I have come to the conclusion that being a major news reporter or an editorial writer should be an elected position.

The worthless TP is run by communists intent on destroying America and imposing secular humanism on the Republic. One of the definition of Picayune is petty and worthless. So, of course that extreme leftist rag will support the disgustingly obese, horrendously ugly witch, Mary Landrieu.

How is it she'll be able exert her power when she has 10 fewer DemocRATS to influence?
Take your time, Editorial Board. We'll be right over here.

They are the propaganda arm of the Democratic, and have been for over 50 years. No surprise here.

**************
Agree, as it will come down to who can get the voters to the polls on Saturday.
Do you see a lot of interest in the election or does it appear to be a back burner
thing? I know that this is the only statewide race thus some areas have no other
race on the ballot. Thanks for any insight you may have.

Even her vote for the Affordable Care Act, which is being used to attack her, reflects concern for the hundreds of thousands of her constituents who lack health insurance.Here's what the Times-Picayune wrote seven weeks ago:
Some Louisiana health insurers are imposing double-digit increases in 2015 for polices sold under the Affordable Care Act's health exchange, according to filings this week with the Louisiana Department of Insurance.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana, the state's largest provider, filed papers that it is moving forward with its original plan to increases rates between 18.3 percent and 19.7 percent for policyholders in its Blue Saver, Blue Max and its Multi-State individual health plans. The plans cover 52,638 people. . .
