Landrieu got crushed, an exclamation mark

[Tracon]

for a horrific election cycle for the dems. She proved that you can't change your positions just for an election, people have memories. As much as she tried to distance herself from obama, it didn't work. The keystone vote attempt was disgusting on her part.

It would have been even better...


...if Mary L. had somehow managed to get that Keystone vote pushed through... and THEN still get kicked to the curb by the voters.

Hard to overcome Obama's unpopularity

In that state. 73% of the white vote "strongly disapproved" of Obama in the Nov. election.

She also lost the white, college-educated vote.

Not to mention the vote of those making over $50,000 a year, and the Catholic vote.

Most importantly, she lost the combined vote of white and non-white voters, college-educated and non-college educated.

Yeah, 2500 temporary construction jobs followed by a lifetime of threats of toxic oil-sludge spills.
