With the democrats in charge, they still manage to out-poll republicans? WTF?
She’ll survive.
All polls show Cassidey running very close to Landrieu and in some cases slightly ahead. The Democrat consistantly polls under 50%. I rate this as perhaps our best shot at unseating an incumbent.
That is incredible. Certainly, the voters are fed up with her. Or perhaps, and more likely, 46% of those polled are brain dead.
Is someone watching so as not to repeat what happened in Mississippi?
The GOPe has successfully crushed the motivation of the base.
As my momma always said........Stupid is as Stupid Does...
If this is a Ras poll, the GOPe is in MAJOR trouble. About that, I admit to mixed feelings.
UNFREAKING BELIEVABLE!!!
Plus, an incumbent's polling under 50 percent is seldom to be interpreted as good news for that incumbent...
This is what happens with the GOP-E pursues Amnesty and refuses to fight for anything else.
The voters see no real difference and it tends to demoralize our base, especially those who are not very politically aware on our side.
Last night standing in a long line for a Braum’s ice cream in Tx and guess who the minority is in the store?
Me—— the only hope for the future is to teach and convert the many into constitutional conservatives-—otherwise its Turd World status for the USA in the future.
Landrieu has a huge money advantage and name recognition. But the race hasn’t started yet and Cassidy is within the margin of error. A good campaign could win this for the GOP. No one gave Ron Johnson much chance against Russ Feingold at this point in 2010 either.
Landrieu shouldn’t even be that close.
What the hell, Louisiana?
Sen Mary is benefitting from the media blackout of Obamacare bad news and the delay in the employer mandate.
If we wish our ideas to prevail, we must open another front. It is all well and good to focus on the evils of Obama. However since half the electorate + a couple doesn't believe us, we have to offer something better than "We Are Not Obama."
Leader,

Plan.
We need specifics, we need them now ... and we need to turn out the vote. I have turned off "Right Wing Radio." It is preaching to the choir ... and its negativity is IMNVHO, causing a "depression," a sense of hopelessness in the non-democrat base that keeps it home on election day.
Mary Landrieu? Cannot the ordinary voters of LA see that this woman is a drooling idiot? Of course, the politically immature of NOLA ....Chocolate City .... will back her whether they know they are voting or not .... but FCS, what about the rest of the state?
All candidates (in this case one Democrat, the incumbent, Mary Landreau, and three Republicans -- Bill Cassidy, Paul Hollis, and Rob Maness) will be on the November 4 ballot. If no candidate achieves a majority -- which seems likely -- a runoff will take place on December 6.
Now, imagine what would happen if, after the November 4 votes were counted across thew nation, we had 50 Republicans and 49 Democrats either as Senators or Senators-elect, with Louisiana's runoff still to come. The GOP needs 51 seats for a majority; 50 would be enough for the Democrats, given Biden's tie-breaking vote.
Just imagine the carnival atmosphere in Louisiana with one month of campaigning left (most likely Landreau vs. Cassidy, as the other two Republicans have been polling in the single digits), with control of the Senate awaiting the outcome.
Dear gawd, what the hell is wrong with these people?
I think this is a tough race because Mary Landrieu is a very good, instinctual campaigner. Her campaign ads are doing a good job of hitting hard on local issues, as well as highlighting her relatively high ranking in the Senate, which she portrays as a benefit to the Louisiana energy industry. Her latest campaign ad features a father/daughter conversation and does a fantastic job of personalizing her. I can’t even recall an ad that Cassidy himself has put out—it’s all been national PACs that are making fairly generic attacks linking her to Obamacare and liberal overspending.
Additionally, Cassidy is still a very unknown commodity in the rest of the state. I think he has a very good shot at knocking off Landrieu, but it won’t happen without a runoff. If Cassidy can start making good arguments about local issues and hits Landrieu on how much she overstates her accomplishments, I think his work will be a lot easier.
