I read that Landrieu is giving out FREE red beans and rice today. Would that constitute buying votes?

Local word is that Landrieu is doing this because President Bush and Suzie Terrell have a fund raising dinner somewhere in the state (whirlwind schedule today through Saturday) and tickets are going for five grand a pop.

Little Mary's trying to woo the 'common man'.

Today yes, tomorrow the beans and rice could backfire on her.
