In the final insult of a devastating 2014 election for Democrats, Sen. Mary Landrieu, the partys last remaining statewide officeholder from the Deep South, was trounced Saturday in the head-to-head Louisiana Senate runoff election.
Republican Bill Cassidys resounding victory is the ninth Senate seat picked up by the GOP in this years 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.

Wonder if Dems will finally learn that obola has been a disaster for them?

Look at the recent comments by dem senators regarding OBCare. If there are not some major changes, court case, or program deletion they will suffer again in 2016. With any luck at all.
Add amnesty and the IRS and what ever new scandal the hero of Benghazi comes up with, I don’t see how they can dig their way out.

The best part is that because of their political correctness and Obama being black, they cannot speak of it aloud.
Thus ensuring future defeats!
Schadenfreude....I love it!

Among those who campaigned on the ground were Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), along with former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.), neurologist Ben Carson and Sen.-elect Joni Ernst (R-Iowa). Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) sent fundraising emails, and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush headlined a high-dollar fundraiser in Washington this week. And the obvious...
Palin stumps with Cassidy in La.

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

“Sen. Mary Landrieu, the partys last remaining statewide officeholder from the Deep South.”
Why do all these reports omit Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL)?

Obola merely needed the RAT party for his political ascendance.
Now that he has almost completed the intended destruction of this country by “hope and change”, the party that got him to this point, can crawl in front of a speeding Greyhound bus, as far as he cares.

The Republicans should be lauding the fact that the Southerners have truly gotten past their previous racist behavior. They’ve left the party of the KKK & Jim Crow laws & come to the party that fought to end slavery & to bring civil rights to all black citizens.
Never hurts to remind people of the true history of the parties.

Well now we all know that the "lipstick" idea doesn't work.

“Although Florida is geographically the southernmost state, it is sometimes excluded from contemporary uses of the term “Deep South” due to the significant amount of migration into South Florida from other regions after World War II.”
