"...many prognosticators (including Larry Sabato, RealClearPolitics..."

I can't believe they're still around. An utterly worthless site.
Remember -

"October 30, 2000
RCP Electoral College Analysis: Bush 446 Gore 92"?

Going off on a little tangent here, but with Landrieu's victory last year (even tho' it was against another woman--who, from what I read here, was also whispered as being a "foreigner" and an "arab") and Blanco's recent one, the dems probably think they've finally found a winning strategy in the south--run moderate (or seemingly moderate, anyways) white women, which also includes Lincoln (what an illustrious surname for such a nondescript senator) in AR. And looks as if Betty Castor in FL and Inez Tennenbaum in SC are strong favorites to emerge out of their primaries at this point. Wouldn't be surprised if the dems yet try again to get Nunn's daughter (whatshername?) in GA to run.

Amite in the southeastern part of the state, not the north. And highlighting her Acadian ancestry probably helped in Cajun country, but would have meant little or nothing to north Louisiana voters.

Maybe this Tabin guy is on to something, but his shaky grasp of Louisiana's geography and culture doesn't inspire much confidence in his thesis.

Simple.

White female trumps non-white male in LA to this day.

I thought Lincoln beat Fay Boozman (who's a man, BTW). Maybe I remember incorrectly.

[gop_gene]

Neither Lincoln nor Landrieu nor Blanco beat white men.

Thanks for informing me about Lincoln, but I did know that Landrieu and Blanco didn't beat white guys. I just think that it might be a possibility that in their grasping at straws, the dems would extrapolate from these 2 recent victories that moderate white women are the keys to victory--although how they'd stack up if and when they do go against white gop men will be the true test of that.

Landrieu beat Woody Jenkins in '96. Jenkins was a white guy, if I recall correctly.

You are right, I was fixating on her win last year against Terrell.

Iam shocked that the age difference was not considered important. Jindal was 32 his opponent 60. Many of the older generation are rightly or wrongly suspicious of young people who seem to be ambitious or on the political "make."
