The Senate race will be the main attraction of the night, as we wait to see whether Landrieu can retain her title as a political survivor or if Cassidy will become seat number 54 for Republicans in the next Senate class. Having won two of her three previous elections through runoffs, Landrieu’s campaign continues to express optimism that she can pull out another surprise victory this year.
The last time Landrieu faced a runoff in 2002, she was widely expected to lose the contest. But in the final days of the campaign, a late-breaking story fueled rumors that the Bush administration was considering increasing sugar imports from Mexico, a policy change that would have had damaging repercussions for Louisiana’s sugar industry. The story helped to shift the momentum of the race. This year, Landrieu’s campaign is looking to a late-breaking story alleging that Cassidy may have been paid for work he didn't do as a part-time professor at LSU as a possible equivalent of the 2002 sugar story.
Whether or not the new allegations against Cassidy will register at the polls remains to be seen, but regardless, the facts on the ground in 2014 paint a very difficult, if not impossible, road to victory for Landrieu.

Good for you. After Landrieu is defeated and replaced by Cassidy, she’ll be freed up to live in the home of her heart. The question is, will that home be shown to be Louisiana or Washington, DC.
Washignton, DC.
That’s where her husband has a real estate business and
where her lobbying trade will be plied. JMO.
It will probably end up somewhere around 55-45, and the MSM will claim some sort of huge victory for the Democrat party.
How right you are! RNC did squat for Gillespie.
As they say in N’awlins, she can go stay with her “mom n nems”.
Hey Mary! You should have pulled the pin LONG ago and saved yourself the humiliating defeat that is on the horizon. DNC tossed you under the golf cart LONG ago!
Her accusation is ridiculous because she has stated that he needs to prove that he worked the academic job he was paid for. IOW, she’s got nothing but desperation.
You can believe this or not, but I happen to know about the “sugar” story: The Democrats bribed a Mexican newspaper to print a story they wrote than they “discovered” it and just HAD to tell the voters all about it.
Woody Jenkins was defrauded from his victory in 1996. She should’ve never been there to begin with.
What a bozo Bush was, and still is! I can no longer stomach the man. HE is responsible for bringing us Maobama. Bob
Very true. Suzie Terrell was an awesome candidate as well in ‘02. What a crying shame that the idiot Bush blew it for her. I don’t trust Cassidy at all, but it will be nice to see Landrieu’s somber face tonight.
Yes and he is a close friend with Clinton.
if she loses, so goes her senate healthcare plan. she’ll have the chance to sign up for obamcare. i mean, legal requirement to.
everyone in that photo appears very, very jazzed about mary.
