She'll carry Louisiana, and possibly Arkansas. Deep South voters are very provincinal.
Landrieu is an inventive pick, I'll grant you that. Possibly wins Louisiana, which Kerry needs in close election. Does shore up the "female vote".
However, this makes for an all-Catholic ticket, albiet cafeteria. Puts abortion on the front burner in an indelicate way. Also, Landrieu owes her seat to fraud and deceit. She isn't that popular in LA.
That's a maybe, anyway if he was looking for the "southern" vote, Edwards would be his pick over her anyday. He's young, good looking, speaks well, a trial lawyer to boot.
Breaux might carry Louisiana. I don't think Landrieu can.
