Cassidy has voted for Democrats in the past, including former presidential candidates Michael Dukakis in 1988 and Paul Tsongas in 1992. He also donated to Landrieu in one of her previous campaigns.

What does that tell you? I've never been able to stand Bill Cassidy and that stupid, phony grin he keeps on his face. He is the Establishment / Karl Rove candidate.

The biggest threat to Cassidy in this "jungle primary" system comes from fellow Republican and self-styled Tea Party conservative, retired Air Force Col. Rob Maness who says Cassidy is part of the problem in gridlock-stricken Washington.

"He (Cassidy) goes with the leadership all the time," Maness said. "Voters can't trust him."

"Tea Party Conservative"..... that's why Rove and the Establishment want him to lose so badly. They don't think he can win in the General.

I predict Mary loses UNLESS control of the Senate hinges on the December runoff. In that case the rats will steal the race by any means necessary.

Probably half of the FReepers used to vote with democrats 25 years ago.

“Maness has been slowly gaining in the polls on Cassidy, while Landrieu’s overall lead has diminished.”

Not sure what polls Carl is getting, but RCP last poll shown is a PPP poll done in JUNE and Landrieu is 17 plus in that poll. Maness has a whooping 8 points in that poll.

I know, Cassidy is the spoiler with his 25% because Manass is the pure candidate.

Has there been some polling that RCP has not picked up on?

Go Rob Maness !

Tsongas, rest his soul, would seem way to the right of current Dems, with his support of the death penalty for murderers of police and judges.

hot and Louisiana in the same sentence can only mean sauce in little bottles.

These runoffs in Louisiana don’t seem to go well from what I remember...

The sad thing is, only Jeff Sessions, Vitter and Tim Scott are definitely more conservative than Cassidy amongst the southerners.

Cassidy is getting to vote on more conservative amendments than just throwing out a bunch of no votes on Harry Reid’s agenda.

I hope Maness wins but Cassidy would actually be a small net improvement.
