Dems' final insult: Landrieu crushed
Politico ^

Posted on 12/07/2014 10:20:11 AM PST by Red in Blue PA

In the final insult of a devastating 2014 election for Democrats, Sen. Mary Landrieu, the party’s last remaining statewide officeholder from the Deep South, was trounced Saturday in the head-to-head Louisiana Senate runoff election.

Republican Bill Cassidy’s resounding victory is the ninth Senate seat picked up by the GOP in this year’s elections, three more than the party needed to take control of the chamber. With nearly all the ballots counted, Cassidy led Landrieu by 14 points, 57 percent to 43 percent.

“They are too busy easily convincing Republicans they still lost and should follow their agenda. “

That was posted by CA Guy. It is true, and echoed by the media.

“Why do all these reports omit Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL)?”

Nelson was beatable in 2012. However the establishment decided to run a legacy, Connie Mach IV, instead of a strong candidate.

Democrats have always been Socialists, but they managed to keep that pretty well hidden until the 1968 DNC National Convention and Riots.

The result of the riots was that the hardliners successfully wrested control of the party from the moderates.

What we are seeing is the fruits of that hard Left turn.

The Republican moderates are attempting to lead us down the same road.

You mean the communists, when you say ‘hard liners’ right?

North and parts of Central Florida are very much like South Georgia...the Deep South.

It might have been OK if it was his father but CM.IV was indeed a light-weight and helium-inflated at that. Of course it was 2012 so the entire GOP thought that all we had to do was run Romney and Obama was toast! We forgot that Obama had a free 3 months to smear Romney along with the MSM 'unbiased' coverage so everyone got stonkered! The Good Lord knows that FlGOP had better candidates but what is past is past! We will need better in 2018, Nelson looks healthy enough to run again.

Yes but then you have the CDs that elect Alan Grayson [Orlando] and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, not to mention the assigned minority districts for the likes of Alcee Hastings and the like. DWS is a born-in-NYC who drank the koolaid with her mother's milk and brought it down with her. You also have family legacy candidates like Gwen Graham, daughter of former governor/senator Bob Graham, who took the CD around Tallahassee this year (60% Dem. gov & union workers.) And the Tampa CD returned another family legacy in Kathy Castor, daughter of a locally prominent Dem. family.

So overall Florida is not quite 'Deep South'!

After all, they too are just typical white people.

I would have agreed about Nelson 6 months ago. Now I feel that if he has a capable challenger he will fold during a campaign. He just cannot make a rational point on his feet. Any debate will find him confused unfocused and not qualified for another 6 year term.
