BATON ROUGE -- Sen. Mary Landrieu, whose victory hopes hinge on being able to energize black voters, got a boost Saturday night from famed civil rights leader Jesse Jackson.

Jackson said Landrieu is the best U.S. Senate candidate to help improve the lot of poor people in Louisiana, one of the poorest states in the nation.

The Democraps are bringing in the Civil Rights Industry and Landrieu has only gone far left in the runoff. We more Republican big guns than Bush and Cheney and a huge turnout by the Conservative base to counter act socialist turnout in New Orleans and populist/statist turnout in the rural areas.

I'm just so glad Jesse "Action Shackson" Jackson came to LA to campaign for Mary "Brown Roots" Landrieu. She's toast! Your "help" will be greatly appreciated on December 7th, JJ! Wahoo!!!

[goldstategop]

We'll get it. We just need to get Bubba and the Gorebatross and McAwful to come down South to help Landrieu down in flames. And Suzanne Terrel has the greatest guy on her side the South calls one of its own: President Bush!!!

[crystalk]

This will backfire on Dems; I am more sure than ever that Suzy Terrell will win.

[Husker24]

I thought Jesse worked for a tax exempt organization that couldnt endorse political canidates.

[hellinahandcart]

Excellent. This should definitely drive the swing voters over to Terrell. Nothing like getting the public support of a truly reprehensible person, eh Mary? Bwahaha!

Jesse should endorse her several times between now and Dec. 7th, I think. Maybe he should tape a commercial. Maybe one with Bill Clinton in it too, hogging the camera and upstaging the black "leader". That would be a fine bit of subliminal advertising.

Jesse Jackass backs Landrieu for Senate

Mary, start working on your resume. It's over!

[goldstategop]

When was the last candidate JJ endorsed in the South won??

[goldstategop]

Friends, the Dems don't know to leave well enough alone. They're helping Dems in the South alright - with a good, stiff dose of good old-fashioned Arkancide.

[leadpenny]

Good point. However, I do remember someone (here on FR, of course) saying the law will not be in effect for this runoff. Louisiana's Gross State Product will probably double between now and the 7th.

For what it was worth, the "Reverend" also came into Houston on Nov. 3 to spend a great deal of time "endorsing" Tony Sanchez too. Tony got 40 percent.

[hellinahandcart]

Yes, I do remember now hearing something about how both sides can legally throw as much money as they like at this race.

And on that note, Terry MacAuliffe was really proud of raising three times as much money this year for a losing effort. Let's hope he's even prouder next month. :D

socialist turnout in New Orleans

Yes, New Orleans has been socialist for at least three decaded by nearly all measurements. A Republican has not even run for mayor there, I don't believe, since 1970. The parish often votes 6-1 and 7-1 Democrat.

[anniegetyourgun]

What a smart move on Landreui's part, eh? HAHAHAHAHA.....

Nothing like sending a message to blacks in that state that the only time the white libs need you is election day! Are they feeling used yet?

[leadpenny]

My comment at #10 was not a swipe at Louisiana. My thoughts were that there is lots of money now flowing into the state. The local media outlets gotta be getting rich at least.

[MeekOneGOP]

It's unclear how the endorsement from a liberal black civil rights leader will play with another critical voting bloc that Landrieu needs to win: moderate white Democrats.

Nonetheless, Jackson did his part to help endear her to black voters. He said that a "New South" is emerging in which old racial divisions are giving way to a more harmonious relationship between blacks and whites.

Well, then I think that bill clintoon and al gore should go down there and show their support too. That should do the trick, just like it did Florida and every other state they went to show support - leaving a deadly trail of 'RAT candidate losers and gleeful GOP winners !!

[goldstategop]

The perfect feather in McAwful's cap. If this turns out to be his batting average, he's have been booted from Major League Baseball already. But fortunately for him, liberals love and reward losers on the theory that nothing breeds success better than proven failure.

[Theodore R.]

Actually, many Jackson picks have won, including former Sen. Wyche Fowler in GA (1986), Terry Sanford in NC (1986), Ernest F. Hollings in his native SC (1986, 1992, 1998), Landrieu in 1996, Cleland in GA in 1996, and of course the Clinton-Gore tickets in 1992 and 1996. But Jesse has been striking out lately.
