This is my prediction and take on Louisiana. Would love to hear your comments.
May God help Terrell win!

Excellent essay...but I'm curious as to why Suzie didn't stress Landrieu's vote AGAINST confirming Shedd more in the debates......

Isnt it ironic that this is Mary Landrieus last stand, and she doesnt seem to stand for anything? Beautifully summarized!

Here's Mary should enjoy her last month as United States Senator. Not even the august John Breaux can save her bacon in Louisiana.

Sounds like Terrell is running as a solid social conservative. Makes me realize what a rare thing that is these days (in politics).

Caught a few minutes of the debate last night, just long enough to hear Terrell call Landrieu "Mary-come-lately" with reference to some issue or other, it might have been tax cuts. Anyhow, it was a great line!

Very well-thought-out take. One prays you are right.

To win = voter turnout. There are more of them than us - so one has to get the conservative voters out. However, conservative turnout should be good - looking at the example of other states.

I mean, really, what do the Democrats expect? All you have to do is look at the electoral map after the 2000 presidential election to understand that the Democrats only source of power is in a few well-populated coastal areas. Nothing in the south. If they keep up their pro-gay, anti-gun, pro-tax message, it could be decades until they have another shot at power -- if that.

I watched the debate last night and couldn't believe that Terrell didn't make the point directly, that she would be a much bigger player in Washington with the Republican majority....and thus be in a better position to serve her constituency.
In fairness, she did mention the Landrieu did not get along with or was not on good speaking terms with the Senate Majority Leader (Lott).

I saw the following URL on a hard-hitting TV commercial today which slammed Landrieu very well. Take a look, and pass it on!

Another thread mentioned that Ralph Reed is in LA working on Terrell's campaign. That's good news. Ralph is head of the GA GOP who helped defeat Cleland and Gov. Roy Barnes. He did a great job in GA.

Well said (post 10 and 11). Urban blight has infected the Democrat Party. A couple years ago Patrick Kennedy said words to the effect that Democrats should write off rural areas. They did. And we wrote Democrats off...

There has been speculation that John Breaux will leave the Senate in 2004 and run for governor. Now that the Dims are in the minority, that might further persuade him and open up another Louisiana Senate seat to the Republicans. A Terrell win could only reinforce that possibility.
Tonight the editor of the "HotLine" (name escapes me, Craig something) when pressed by Chris Matthews predicted a Terrell victory. The guy was speaking from New Orleans and is a Louisiana native.

They're off and running! Now that the potential favorite-John Breaux-has decided not to ship in for the Derby, the field is forming quickly for the 2003 governor's race, and a crowded field it appears to be-at least for a while.

Democrats simply morph into RINOs.
