When you're only up one run in the 8th inning, it isn't a good idea to spend a lot of time gloating.

The Louisiana run-off is in December, and I am asking for support for our last "man" at bat, Suzanne Haik Terrell.

Suzanne Haik Terrell, graduate of Loyola University Law School, former New Orleans City Council member, first Republican woman to hold statewide office (as Elections Commissioner.) Since taking office in 2000 she has achieved many of her goals, cutting the bloated Department's budget by canceling contracts, streamlining operations, and downsizing the Department's spending practices and personnel.

"We will never create a culture in this country that honors life until we have a pro-life woman making the case every day from the Senate floor. Today there are no pro-life women in the Senate. That must change. Louisiana can change it."--Suzanne Haik Terrell

Please send a contribution by credit card on-line or mail a check if you cannot personally volunteer time.

You are of course right: we cannot afford to be the least bit complacent.

In fact: It should be the top priority for us all to contribute in every way possible to the defeat of Landrieu. There is no telling what might happen if the Democrats win in South Dakota and in Louisiana: you will recall that we have another New England "Republican" Senator who is contemplating another Jeffords-style betrayal, threatening that if the Republican Senate goes too far in its conservative agenda he will leave the party and support the Democrats. If we win in Louisiana, the Republican majority will be secured even in the event of such a switch.

If by winning in Louisiana we have just one seat to spare, this will have two crucially important benefits:

1. It will suggest to any possible Republican defector in the Senate that there is nothing to be gained (and much to be lost) by stabbing the Republican Senate majority in the back, since Republicans would hold a multi-seat majority and, retaining control, would be in a position to exact retribution.

2. As long as the Republican majority holds by merely a single vote, Republicans will be held hostage to the threat that other prospective Republica traitors in the Northeast will jump ship if Republican agenda appears "too aggressively conservative." In other words, if we win in Louisiana and hold an extra Senate seat as a buffer, such restraints on the Republican majority (especially in judicial appointments) will be removed and we will be free to retrieve America from the Democrat political death grip which has been choking the country for decades.

3. Therefore, Louisiana is "must win" if we are to have a free hand to accomplish our goals and have any hope of saving our country from its vulnerability to a slide into irretrievable moral, intellectual and economic degradation.

Cooksey is an opthalmologist and should be commended for his charitable work in that field. He has no business in public life, he has neither the temperament nor the ability. This little, post election, hissy fit is but one more example of how very petulant and unsuitable he is. The RNSC endorsed Suzie Terrell. They know Dr Cooksey, they've worked with him and they chose Suzie Terrell. Clearly, they made the right decision. If the truth be known, apart from simply being a loser, that is no doubt at the heart of his pout.

Governor Foster endorsed Cooksey and both of them have behaved like children since the election. Foster said Thursday on his call-in radio show that he didn't like it when the RNSC did not consult with him before selecting a candidate and he didn't think they should have given all the money to one candidate. He said he thought they should have "spread" it around. (Ahem) He said he didn't like the negative ads they ran against Landrieu.... They ran ads about Landrieu's record and they compared her voting record with Hillarys (hee hee). The calls to him that hour were blistering, roughly 90% disagreed and chastised him severly. Governor Foster was a democrat until he decided to run for governor 8 years ago.

If either of these two cry babies cared about doing what is best for the state and the country they would be doing everything they could to defeat Landrieu. Why in God's name would they want to return a tax and spend democrat to Washington and to a Republican majority senate ?
