Why is this an embarassment? This is a democrat incumbent in a traditionally democrat state. Our candidate ran well, but was done in at the end by the sugar deal and perhaps the economic shake-up.
It takes none of the gloss off for me. We are not going to win all elections. We gave it a good shot, and I appreciate the President making the effort.
If he hadn't campaigned, then the loss would have been blamed on his not campaigning. He took a chance, won some in November, lost this one tonight.
You gloomy pepople are so depressing!

What about Fletcher? Did he lose too?
I do think this is a big deal. We needed that 52nd seat!! I think the 6% unemployment coupled with the shakeup of the WH economic team threw this one to Landrieu. Terrell had the momentum but the economic news on Friday totally took the wind out of her sails.
Such a shame.

You gloomy pepople are so depressing! Yeh. It would have been nice, but we lost nothing. Landrue'll get no goodies from Washington now anyway. Her state is toast as far as pork. LOL

Anyone going to be able to watch any news show today or tomorrow after this including FOX? All bad news on all shows all the time. It will be like we do not controll anything. Well in MN. we got the gov. and a 30 seat lead in the house and only trailing in the sen. by 4 seats. 4-4 and 1-1 in the us house and senate. Also with everyone in the state begging for tax increse to make up a 4.2 billion def. a GOV. that says NO!! we will cut spending.

Indeed. I still look forward to January.
Sorry DU, but all your senate are still belong to us.
