The Landrieu camp said it had nothing to do with Jackson's appearance in Baton Rouge or his endorsement. But it could pay dividends for her Dec. 7 when black voter turnout will be critical to whether she can defeat Republican state Elections Commissioner Suzanne Haik Terrell.

I don't envy Landrieu. She desperately needs nearly 100% of the black vote and about 30% of the white vote to carry Louisiana and she has been struggling to get either. And now one of the most polarizing figures in American politics shows up and endorses her.

This may engergize some blacks, but it will more than likely energize the whites to vote against her in masses.

She needs to realize that it's breakfast time and she's toast.

"but it will more than likely energize the whites"

Bingo!

It'll come down to the "Cajun-Americans" vs. "Afro-Americans." This is not the the way Republicans are handicapping this race, it's those nasty and wretched "divide-American's-at-all-costs to win" Democrats playing the game this way." I don't at all hear the Suzy Terrell camp say, "we've got to turn out the white vote or we're toast." Democrats continue to "polararize" while Republicans continue to "unite."
