BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Republican U.S. Senate candidate Rob Maness is getting campaign help this weekend from former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. (bump)

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) predicted on Tuesday a loss for Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) and a win for Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback (R) this fall, two of their respective parties’ most vulnerable incumbents. Speaking to reporters at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast on Tuesday, Jindal said of Landrieu’s defeat, “I think that that is going to happen this year.” But he added while “she could lose in November ... I think a runoff is possible.” (SNIP) Some have speculated his decision to sit out the race was informed by long-standing bad blood between the governor and Sen. David Vitter...

Rather than talking about the plantation mentality, debates or plane rides, Rob Maness -- at least on this day -- spent Wednesday telling voters about his plans to deal with the growing crisis in Iraq. It was a rare day when a Louisiana Senate candidate wasn't hurling allegations against the competition. Of course Maness has certainly played a significant role in the Senate mudslinging, taking credit for being the first to condemn both Sen. Mary Landrieu's flight and residency controversies as well as Rep. Bill Cassidy's comment that Sen. Harry Reid runs the Senate with a plantation mentality. Yet, he...

Republican Senate candidate Rob Maness might not have a legal claim against Sen. Mary Landrieu's residency, but he perhaps managed something better for his long-shot campaign -- a week in the national media spotlight. Heading into the election's home stretch, Landrieu's campaign has been forced to spend the bulk of its time fending off attacks from Republicans about her residency and controversial flights. Political experts say every minute spent on these issues is time Landrieu isn't spending on touting her record. "These are common tactics not only in Louisiana but across the country," said LSU political scientist Robert Hogan. "Incumbents...

This is for the people who this week are trying to present the equivalence challenged in the headline as a way to build support for Rob Maness. We’ll make this short: those of you trying to make that analogy are all wet, either because your understanding of politics in this state is next to nil or because your relationship with the truth is a hostile one. To make Cassidy-Maness-Landrieu be actionably analogous to Cochran-McDaniel-Childers, you’d need four elements to be different. (SNIP) Third, Cassidy would have to be somebody different. He’d need to be the incumbent, which he’s not, and...

Celebrity Donald Trump and Republican U.S. Senate candidate Rob Maness apparently clashed at the Republican Leadership Conference held in New Orlean earlier this month, according to reporter Jeremy Alford at LaPolitics. Trump suggested Maness, a retired Air Force colonel with Tea Party backing, could hurt U.S. Rep. Bill Cassidy's chances to defeat Democratic incumbent Mary Landrieu in Louisiana's U.S. Senate race this fall. (SNIP)In the Bayou state, all candidates -- Democratic and Republican -- run against each other on election day. If no one receives over 50 percent of the vote, then the top two candidates -- who can be...

In fact, when it comes to primaries, the tea party-aligned Trump sounds a whole lot like GOP establishment leaders -- calling for pragmatism over purity -- rather than tea party groups. ...Maness is in the single digits while Rep. Bill Cassidy polls as the GOP frontrunner against Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.). "The Republicans have to win," Trump said. "I’m a very conservative person, but Republicans have to win."

Sarah Palin endorsed retired U.S. Air Force Col. Rob Maness (R) in the Louisiana race for U.S. Senate Thursday, giving the underdog candidate a boost in what's been an uphill climb on the campaign trail. "In the Louisiana Senate race we have the opportunity to send a true conservative and a real warrior to join that fight. So, today I am lending my support to retired Col. Rob Maness for U.S. Senate," said Palin in a statement. Palin has been wading into contested races more and more in recent months. Maness is an underdog in a race that features Rep....

"It's only 800 bucks to qualify," says Rep. Bill Cassidy, the leading Republican challenger to Louisiana incumbent Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu, of his state's Senate race. "So if it's on your bucket list to run for Senate, you move to Louisiana, pay your 800 bucks and run for Senate." Even though a lot of reporting on the Louisiana Senate race -- including my own -- has focused on the head-to-head Landrieu-Cassidy matchup, there will be more GOP candidates than just Cassidy on the ballot this November. Their presence could affect the outcome of the race. Cassidy's main Republican opponent, retired...

Maness Announces Best Fundraising Quarter Yet"Nearly all of the contributions we've collected are low-dollar donations when compared to the high-dollar contributions that my establishment opponents routinely collect from K Street lobbyists and other special-interests in Washington D.C.," Maness said. He added that within the overall explosion of individual donors, his support from Louisiana donors is outpacing the total growth of his donor list. He said that the value of his contributions will become evident in more ways than in the mere sum of dollars raised.

Madisonville, LA - Col. Rob Maness (USAF, ret.), the conservative candidate running against Mary Landrieu for the United States Senate, today blasted Sen. Mary Landrieu's support of anti-energy bureaucrat Rhea Suh for a high profile position in the Obama Administration, saying it is conclusive proof that Mary Landrieu will use her new leadership role to destroy jobs and advance Obama's agenda and his favorite Washington bureaucrats, killing jobs and reducing opportunities for people to provide for themselves and their families. "Rhea Suh is being promoted by the most anti-energy Administration we've ever had specifically because she has been instrumental in...

Madisonville, LA - Col. Rob Maness (USAF, ret.), the conservative candidate running against Mary Landrieu for the United States Senate, is honored to accept the endorsement of Eagle Forum, the nation's leading organization in the fight to preserve traditional values. "Phyllis Schlafly's long-standing, proven commitment to limited government, national sovereignty, and traditional American values is truly remarkable," Maness said. "Phyllis Schlafly and Eagle Forum understand that there has been a dangerous increase in the federal government's power and a retreat from the traditional values that created a country of strong individuals, families, churches, and communities. "As Louisiana's senator, I will...

MADISONVILLE, LA - The Republican Liberty Caucus (RLC) has unanimously endorsed Col. Rob Maness (ret.) in the Louisiana race for United States Senate. "We're pleased that Colonel Maness is willing to continue his service to our country with his candidacy for the U.S. Senate," said RLC National Chair Matt Nye. "The Colonel is dedicated to restoring the individual rights of Americans. This is no small task with the unprecedented overreach we’re seeing by a federal government that infringes on our rights and interferes in our lives in ways that would shock the founders of this country."

WASHINGTON — On July 31, 2012, a little-known state attorney in black ostrich-skin boots named Ted Cruz shocked the Lone Star State’s political establishment when, facing incredible odds, he defeated popular Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst in the Republican primary race for Senate.Within a year, Cruz would be a household name across the country and considered a possible candidate for the presidency. With another congressional election season approaching in November, Cruz’s story has inspired a new crop of little-known candidates who want to replicate his success. While Cruz may be the least popular man in the Senate, his popularity soars...
