According to witnesses, Landrieu looked over her shoulder and told Terrell, "This is your last campaign."

Rush Limbaugh caused this threat!!

I love Louisiana politics! After football it is my favorite contact sport.

That wasn't even close to a catfight.

Just a couple of wenches with thin skins...

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Hard to say it was a catfight since there's no evidence that Terrell took any catty shots at Landrieu.

I'd simply say that it's a good sign: a panicky Landrieu, drenched in flop sweat, lashes out in desperation as her opponent begins to pull away.

[Paul Atreides]

Landrieu sounds like a graduate of the Hillary Rodham Clinton School of Advanced Bitchery.

[Go Gordon]

In the runoff, Landrieu has begun to strike back. In a new television ad, she says Terrell favors tax relief only for the wealthy.

Ouch, now that hurt. Take that back < /sarcasm>. After the earthquake hit the RATs on 11/5, you'd think the RATs would have scripted some different plays, but I guess they're just going to use the same playbook.

Candidate debate has unfriendly end

BATON ROUGE -- An already-bitter U.S. Senate campaign got personal Saturday afternoon at the conclusion of a taped debate between Democrat Sen. Mary Landrieu and Republican state Elections Commissioner Suzanne Haik Terrell.

After a tense 30-minute segment finished taping at WDSU's studios in New Orleans, the two candidates were preparing to leave. According to witnesses, Landrieu looked over her shoulder and told Terrell, "This is your last campaign."

A stunned Terrell replied, "She threatened me."

No other words passed between the two New Orleans women, but moderator Alec Gifford said Landrieu appeared peeved.

"She just kind of stalked out of the studio," Gifford said.

A Landrieu spokesman, Rich Masters, said the comment wasn't a threat, but a prediction that after running such a negative campaign, Terrell would no longer be viable as a candidate in Louisiana.

A Terrell spokesman said Terrell was shocked at what happened and saw it as a sign of Landrieu's desperation.

The bad blood has been a long time coming. During the primary, the National Republican Senatorial Committee financed a bare-knuckled campaign against Landrieu, claiming she had turned her back on Louisiana.

In the runoff, Landrieu has begun to strike back. In a new television ad, she says Terrell favors tax relief only for the wealthy.

Gifford said the two barely looked at each other during the debate and that although the candidates shook hands, "It was very perfunctory."

The debate will air today at 10 a.m. and Thanksgiving Day at 4:30 p.m.

C-SPAN schedule lists a portion of this debate as being re-aired at 6:25 PM Eastern time and at 9:34 PM Eastern time tonight.

Note however that the debate and a speech by Sen. John Edwards (D-ATLA*) are both playing during about a 1 and 1/2 hour block. It is unclear whether Edwards speech or the debate will come first.

In the words of Tom Daschle "I am feeling threaten!"

I heard this on TV last night and was stunned. It is outrageous for Mary Landrieu to make such a statement, and Suzie has every reason to interpret this as a threat. But after all, Mary is a RAT, so maybe can't expect any more of her. However, I don't believe that the people of Louisiana will tolerate such outrageous behavior from a Senatorial candidate. We're going to vote in record numbers for Suzie Terrell, our Senatorial candidate who espouses true Louisiana values. Suzie will work with Pres. Bush for the benefit of Louisiana and our nation.

[Saundra Duffy]

But what I want to know is: How many years has Gary Condit been married to THAT woman?

[WFTR]

A stunned Terrell replied, "She threatened me."

She should have said, "and the broom you rode in on, Mary."

It looks like the daughter of the corrupt mayor of New Orleans might be terrified at the thought of a Republican being in the position to have law enforcement take a good hard look at the corruption in New Orleans. If she does, then a whole bunch of people get to go to jail

If I were Terrell, I would not take this lightly, and would have my bodyguards be extra careful

[dano1]

It doesn't really sound like a threat to me. Seems like she was implying "You're going to lose this election and then your political career will be over." However it seems like quite a wild stretch to read this as a threat of bodily harm. Typical Drudge Sunday pre-radio show hype, IMHO.

[crystalk]

The only hope Landrieu now has, is if the Democrats not only vote the last 5 years dead in New Orleans, but more like the last TWENTY-five!

PS Isn't there something the Republican national org can do to prevent this vote fraud and theft from taking place?

[Darlin']

I haven't yet seen this debate but I'm told Suzie cleaned Landrieu's clock. Apparently the reporter didn't see fit to mention that Mrs Terrell stole Landrieu's thunder from the start. Landrieu has been telling voters how important her committee assignments have been as a basis for re-election. However, at the start of this debate Suzie said, Louisiana is better off having a new player in Congress on the winning team rather than an old veteran sitting on the bench. Mary sat there in stunned silence for about 20 seconds then announced her age. FOFLOL.

[finnman69]

is this Landrieu's "WE WILL WIN RALLY", Rick Lazio approaching Hillary Clinton in debate, or her version of the Gore Sigh!?

Channel 8 just ran Terrell's latest ad. It features her three daughters doing most of the talking.

"After three teenage daughters, I think she can handle Washington" LOL
