'Louisiana Laugher': Bill Cassidy up by 16 in GOP internal poll over Mary Landrieu.
American Thinker ^ | 11/14/2014 | Rick Moran

Posted on 11/14/2014 7:31:12 AM PST by SeekAndFind

Hard to say how credible this poll is, but all political observers following the Louisiana Senate runoff scheduled for December 6 agree that Republican Bill Cassidy has opened a significant lead over incumbent Democratic Senator Mary Landrieu.

One aspect in favor of this poll's accuracy is that Landrieu recieved 42% of the vote on election day and shows her support at 40% in this new poll. And if you combine Cassidy's 40% on election day with the other conservative Republican candidate Maness's 14%, the total is well within the margin of error of the new poll

The Hill:

Rep. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) has opened up a 16 point lead over Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) in their Louisiana Senate runoff, according to an internal poll conducted on behalf of the Cassidy campaign and obtained by The Hill. 

Cassidy takes 56.6 percent against Landrieu’s 40.5 percent in the poll conducted by Magellan Strategies. While internal polls should be viewed with some skepticism, it’s the first head-to-head poll to be released in the runoff period. The RealClearPolitics average of polls taken before Election Day showed Cassidy up by only 5 percent in the head-to-head matchup.

A source close to the Landrieu campaign strongly pushed back against the poll, arguing that it’s an automated, push-button poll conducted by a conservative outlet, it used loaded terms to survey only issues pertinent to the Cassidy campaign, and that it underestimates Landrieu’s popularity among African American voters.

Every one of those A-A voters will have to vote at least twice to make up the difference. Certainly, Cassidy should have enough poll watchers to sniff out the usual voter fraud.

Palin and the Robertsons need to hold a Pipeline Party in support.

It’s not enough to merely win, she has to be thoroughly humiliated to the point where she won’t even try again.

I probably shouldn’t say this, but everytime I see Senator Landrieu on TV, I think of Miss Piggy. I probably should be ashamed of thoughts, but does anybody else get the same thought?

Way beyond the Demorat margin-of-cheating.

You can’t just add the numbers from the last election. You have to factor in the number of voters staying home, which could be substantial.

...and the dead voters.

Louisiana voters, ignore this poll. Get your butts to the election booth on December 6 and retire Mary. Complacency will lose this election. Mary has been down before and has always come back. We can't let that happen this time.

Look folks in Louisiana.....The Democrat Party is imploding, their leader Obama is a total failure, Reid and Pelosi are cesspool refills, and the party continues to suffer the slaughter it took, politcally on November 4, 2014. The reason the leadership, Reid, in the Senate, and Pelosi, in the House, were re-elected by the Democrat, low life, rank & file is because no man or woman with a sane mind would take or want their jobs right now. Obama will continue to destroy the Democrat Party. The man, Obama is straight jacket material, and is in serious denial. Obama....actually in not all there in the brain department. He is sort of in the “Nero/Caligula” category.....”insane”!!! The whole world is both mocking and laughing at us for electing this absolute, useless egomaniac, bufffoon!!

So....the voters of the great state of Louisiana can send a tremendous political signal & message to the entire country, simply by turning out in massive numbers and voting against, Senator Mary Landrieu, and for Representative, Bill Cassidy. Forget a sixteen point margin....shoot for 20% or, more!!! Cassidy & company....do let up for one second.....grind this low life, useless Obamabot, Mary Landrieu into her politcal deathbed...where, she so rightly belongs for betraying her fellow Louisiana citizens,,,,,in favor of kissing the butt, of America Hater & would be America, destroyer, Barack Hussein “Kenyan, Muslim Brotherhood) Obama!!!

LOUISIANA VOTERS ARE GONNA GET GRUBERED BY LANDRIEU The theory behind the Keystone Pipeline move is the usual lib-Democratic assumption that "voters are dumb," and will not realize that the Senate vote is a charade, designed to dupe them into believing that Landrieu actually supports Keystone and that Mary is still as sweet as ever---and definitely not in cahoots with Harry Reid, enviro-zealots and billionaires who back and bankroll the Democrat party.

"Hi voters. I just did a threesome w/ Obama and Harry to get
the pipeline bill moving. That's why my mouth looks so funny."

MARY AND OBAMACARE---Lock-stepping Obama loyalist Landrieu is gonna find out real soon----LA voters did not just fall off a turnip truck.

<><> Lock-stepping Landrieu---saluting smartly---cast the deciding vote for Obamacare and parroted Obama's phony “keep your plan” pledge (media-designated the "lie of the year").

<><> Landrieu voted with Obama 99% of the time---and the prez never even dropped by to campaign for her (snix).

<><> Landrieu voted to subsidize O/Care by decimating Medicare Advantage for seniors.

<><> Landrieu and Obama calculatedly kept the gruesome details to themselves while egging on lock-stepping Democrat party loyalists to vote for O/Care.

<><> Landrieu and the WH lied to Americans in a way so specific, it showed they knew exactly what to spin and how......via the infamous "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan" lie.

<><> After she voted for Obamacare, Landrieu carried on for years, making believe she'd actually read the ACA bill, and pretending she understood its implications.

<><> Landrieu even feigned "surprise" at townhalls---by grassroots complaints about O/Care.

I don’t want to see Landrieu merely defeated, I want to see her humiliated.

The best thing about looking at Mary Landrieu is that you’re not looking at Henry Waxman.

Yes, I’ve thought of her as Miss Piggy for years. Which is contrary to Rush thinking of her as cute a few years back.

Someone should just tell her to concede and save the voters and the state a lot of money.
