Sen. Mary Landrieu Counting on Stevie Wonder and Other Staunch Supporters

Sen. Mary Landrieu is relying on a close group of staunch Democratic supporters as she makes a final push to save her Senate seat from Republican challenger Rep. Bill Cassidy ahead of a Dec. 6 Louisiana runoff election.

The momentum seems to favor Cassidy. The GOP quickly coalesced behind Cassidy after the general election in November in which Cassidy and Landrieu received the most votes, but neither won enough to avoid a runoff. Cassidy has received a fresh round of endorsements from big-name 2016 contenders, including Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ken., and Texas Gov. Rick Perry....

So former Governor Sarah Palin is a 2016 contender now? Can't the press ever make up its mind?

I think even Stevie Wonder sees what’s coming.

[fieldmarshaldj]

What does Stevie see in her ?

[eyedigress]

She wants that voodoo vote!

[FrankR]

An Obama lover, denying she’s an Obama lover, counting on other Obama lovers to get her through.

I love the smell of democrat hypocrisy in the mornings...

[rawcatslyentist]

I hear she has Stevie counting all the republican votes!

[Bullish]

[Hugin]

Stevie Wonder rallying Democrat voters is the blind leading the blind.

I expect Obuma to run down to Louisiana to arouse the blacks...maybe even get them to get out a march for the blacks in Ferguson.....you know....those rotten punks who burnt and raped the Town.

Gee....can't imagine why we tend to stay with our own...

[oblomov]

He doesn’t know why he loves her. He just does.

[KevinB]

Reporter: Stevie, she's white.

Stevie: Oh, sh*t!

[trebb]

What does Stevie see in her ?

Not sure but I think he wrote a song for her; "I see the blight".

Can think of several cliché analogies to the position Landrieu is in but they are all some version of a Catch 22. Every attempt to firm up her support in the Louisiana black community by identifying herself with Obama loses more white votes. And any time she tries catering to white unease she reduces the enthusiasm blacks would need to get up and go vote on a December Saturday. The days of her family’s political machine running things like a fine tuned plantation are over. The sense I have is that most people in that State just want to be rid of the lying b@#$h.

So she has recruited the blind to help lead...her voters?

Saturday is the big day. Cassidy supporters can underestimate Mary Landrieu and he corrupt LA politicians and not bother to show up at the polls, but, they do so to their own peril.
