But it's not necessarily that simple. Landrieu is an LSU alum, and that counts for something to certain LSU people, particularly since Terrell's a Tulane grad. The antipathy between the two schools is such that there are people in this state who simply will not vote for an alumnus of one school or the other, regardless of party or ideology. In a close race, little things like that count.
