Mary Landrieu hasn’t received one donation from outside groups this past week for runoff election

Six days ago, it was reported the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee wouldn’t be lending any more support to Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) leading up to her December 6 runoff election against Republican opponent Bill Cassidy, as the DSCC has canceled its advertising reservations in the state. However, it appears that her problems extend well beyond them, as even more outside groups have appeared to jump ship — at least for the time being.

FEC filings from the past week show that the sitting senator hasn’t received one independent donation from any outside group either in support of her re-election or opposing Cassidy. In fact, every independent committee or PAC donation went in support of her Republican challenger or into opposing her in the runoff election.

“It’s obviously an important issue to her, and it has importance in terms of timing with her runoff coming up,” Durbin said. “What she’s trying to do is find an opportunity to bring this up publicly in the closing weeks of the session.”

Notice the vote has absolutely nothing to do with what’s good for the country. “Dick” Turban is only thinking of how it impacts Landrieu and his party!

even Durbin can’t pretend otherwise

Maybe she can get a gig on Biggest Loser? Reality tv with a purpose. That’s it.

Now, boys and girls, can you say the word “write-off”?

[Maine Mariner]

Too little too late I should think.

I don't think this really has anything to do with Mary Landfill or whatever her name is. I think it's all just financial pragmatism. Why spend even so much as a dime on a Senate race for a person who would only be something like the 47th member of the minority party in a legislative body with 100 seats?

It wouldn't be a good investment even if you were guaranteed to win the seat. It would be like having one more soldier at Custer's Last Stand.

There were 4 Republicans, 3 Democrats & a Librarian in the Nov 4 election.

The numbers were reversed but the outcome was still the same.

3 Rs, 4 Ds & one L.

Plus perhaps the Democrats know that the Landrieu Crime Family will ultimately find a way to manufacture a win.

Reminds me of a song from the rock group : the Association .... Along comes Mary .....

Along come Keystone Mary.

[ExTexasRedhead]

Mary should call Gruber and ask for a donation, ya think?

[Graybeard58]

I hope Conservatives/Republicans don’t think this a sure thing and stay home only to awake and find out she won

I won't be voting for Cassidy.

Stupid for having said that the South is still full of racist rednecks where no black person can feel safe.

“Laissez les bons temps rouler!”

[Tennessean4Bush]

Desperation is setting in: she's now calling for the Senate to vote on the Keystone pipeline.

This makes no sense. Why would they vote on this now to help save one seat when they might have saved several and the Senate if they voted on it before the election? No way they will make their Senators go on record as voting for it and losing cred and money from the environmentalists when the Pubs are sure to vote for it first thing next year? It makes no sense, therefore it is nonsense.

Thanks, multitasking at work.

"Jungle Primary" I learned.

Been in TX since age 10.

If they do, they will never get it together for a vote before the LA runoff so it won’t help her.

Fear has changed: they are starting to fear the electorate more than Obama, perhaps? It’s a good question, though... wonder how many seats are up for election in the next cycle that are among those about to sign on to the pipeline.
