UNDER-THE-RADAR.....Landrieu calls on Obama for final turnout push "Washington (CNN) -- Facing the potential for a drop in turnout among African-American voters, Sen. Mary Landrieu and the Louisiana Democratic Party have turned to drastic measures to gin up enthusiasm among that pivotal voting bloc: On Monday they, quite literally, called in the President.

President Barack Obama phoned in Monday for an under-the-radar call with Landrieu, party organizers, volunteers and other grassroots supporters across Louisiana, according to a spokeswoman for the Louisiana Democratic Party.

Obama said Landrieu "has been an outstanding advocate on behalf of Louisiana working families every step of the way," according to a state party tweet on Monday.

The lack of publicity for the call -- it wasn't advertised to press or the public outside of a few tweets that were picked up by the Washington Examiner -- underscores just how toxic the President remains for Landrieu.".........
