I'm guessing Sec of State of LA website is the place to go for what data is available, and no exit poll data for crosstabs are posted yet?

Approve the KXL, wonder what else will happen in the Senate with the election of Cassidy.

Sid

In elections and someone like Cassidy gets elected.

Her brother is Major of New Orleans. They have been busy pillaging us for Jindals benefit and state coffers for years. Using that monies to support Jindal's failed economic plans.

Don't give me crap about Mary's "Dem" status.

set agendas etc - not having them gives us republicans and they are not the same

Would be the same as a republican doing it ?

Is going to allow a Democrat to head any committees? Bills gets to the floor to be voted on by the committee they at classified, nothing will come down on the Democrats side, will remain in a committee.

In no sane Universe are they remotely connected.

Instead of a republican would make a difference.

the koch brothers thank you

Not a nightmare per se. I would say he's something worse.

and should be a TOS violation.

Sid

I voted for her the first time. Then she backed Keystone. That was the straw.

Maybe if she had distanced herself a little more from Obama or had run a little more to the right she might have met herself.

You own this bullshit.

Sid

So whatever. Guess she should have acted like a dem

My favorite breakfast. You did good.

That race was a losing fight anyway.

Thanks!

Their outrage is fucking stupid. Even the heads of the Democratic party knew she was going to lose and didn't waste any time or money on this run off. But YOU, it's all your fault. Enjoy their outrage.

about your waffle.

"I am curious how far down the rabbit hole American voters take us now"?

What voters are you talking about? If you stay home and eat waffles and proudly proclaim you're not voting then shouldn't you're line read "I am curious how far down the rabbit hole American non-voters take us now"?

It didn't take long to find out you're a fan over at the "the conservative cave" site. Seems you like to play both sides too.

as much as you would like to pretend.

We got people out in streets for weeks now and the OP couldn't even make it to vote?! Especially for Senator!

Happy with the results

in a run-off election.



Sid

AGAINST THE FASCIST TEA PARTY AGENDA!

70-80% of the time...lol.

You are wrong.

for their trouble, they will vote for neutered bills 70 - 80% of the time with the Democrats, not with liberals.

They make sure liberals are frozen out of steering first and foremost, resulting in "our way" being nothing of the sort and actually holding every effort hostage until "our way" is distilled out in favor of the Turd Way.

That said, she was fucking doomed. Don't believe that? Ask the DNC and the money people, they cut her off as good money going after bad and those folks are not "purists" by any stretch, at least not the way it is being used here.

What should and could have been done to save that seat?

amendments and support them? And that assumes I agree with your interpretation of Landrieu, and I don't.

Sorry, this doesn't work no matter how you try to spin it.

What is it to work? I don't have a vote here and don't live in the state. I voted and volunteered for my worthless loser of a Turd Way preferred candidate against all inclination and trust who lost in more humiliating fashion despite trying to run to the fucking turtles right than about anyone who has ever gone up against him over the years.

to support her.

But, I think it is a pretty interesting question: What could or should have been done to save her seat?

so they aren't liberals."


Lol

I think there are many who enjoy the whole outrage and drama.

dissatisfaction with the candidates we are allowed to vote for. The viable ones are never allowed to get past the gate.
As South Park said it so perfectly. Our choices for voting are always between a Giant Douche or a Turd Sandwich.

It appears you think that logic is only for authoritarians.

Sid

Gloating over the defeat of a Democrat, any Democrat, should have no place on this website.

Congratulations for surviving a jury.

Sid

Not Democrats, that's for sure.

Sid

But what would you know about that?

Only thing you want is blind loyalty to the party.

And you chose to gloat about making waffles, instead of trying to prevent the Republican from winning.



Sid

You say devotion to a party like it's a bad thing.

If you would rather have Cassidy than Landreau as your Senator, then you're on the wrong board.

Sid

to represent your constituents. Political reality, people. Each state is unique.

The ones who can be counted on. I guess that means blind authoritarians who follow party dogma.

Some people have a problem with the concept of a party, period. As if they want to showoff how independent they are first. Well that's good, except no one is going to get elected without somebody else being for it.

the hard way. Elections had consequences.

to expect from experience with Louisiana's other Senator, Republican David Vitter, who is consistently rated as the most conservative member of the US Senate and who votes Liberal 0% of the time.

We're about to get another one of those instead of someone (Landrieu) who votes Liberal 70-80% the time.

I could perhaps have a modicum of understanding for the OP if we didn't have Vitter as a prime, in your face example of what Republican Senators from Louisiana are like.

How about giving then a candidate they actually want to vote for. Just saying.

Do you think Ted Cruz or David Vitter or other Tea Party Republicans have a chance in Massachusetts, New York or California? No, in those states, the Republicans who have a chance are moderate Republicans.

Why do you think this is different in the opposite direction in one of the reddest states in the country? What is the disconnect here with you and others who don't seem to get this?

Better a publicly known enemy than a backstabber pretending to be a ally.

oil drenched wallet

Republican/Conservative 100% of the time instead of Democratic/Liberal 70-80% of the time.

It's about a person who will vote to give control of that body to Republicans each session.

It's about a person who will vote against the Supreme Court and other nominees of Democratic Presidents and for those (if one gets elected) of Republican Presidents.

Mary herself proved that. The time is now to develop a real Democrat to run against the cretin that got elected and maybe he'll be a Scott Brown 1 term-er.

I am tired of hearing that we have to nominate repub-lite candidates in red states or they won't get elected. Looks like they can't get elected either.

Louisiana is one of the most conservative states in the country.

Good luck with your efforts to get a Kucinich elected there.

because there wasn't one running. If I lived in LA I would have held my nose and voted, but I don't blame people for not voting when those are their choices.

The underlying problem is we have a representative government that doesn't represent us. Blaming the non-participants and those who are shouting this from the rooftops is not going to get us anywhere.

its ridiculous either way.

Get everything you want in a democracy.

They only prove they aren't participating.

How politically naive are some of these people?

Sid

Never cared for her.

the republicans seem to be doing rather well.

Absolutely not making fun of her, but in 1996 she just looked great. I hope she's not sick. Perhaps she just needs some rest. Three terms in the Senate is no joke.

Please take a moment to think about all the people in the south who were killed trying to get the right to vote before you savor your next bite. Enjoy.

As if I weren't cognizant of history.

I don't.

I don't.

a note of apology to every single Democratic LA citizen she has represented in the last 12 or so years.

and I no longer live in LA, but next door, but she WAS my Senator at one time, have no more fucks to give to Mary Landrieu. We tried giving a fuck about her, but sorry, we are all out.

and I know you will appreciate it because you are currently her constituent, and I have been in the past - I have no fucks left to give for Mary Landrieu. She expended nearly all of them on her asinine opposition to the ACA, and lost them all with her support for fracking and the Keystone XL. And that's just recent fucks she lost.

She's been losing anybody and everybody that gave a fuck about her in her capacity as a lame Democratic Senator for a LONG time.

The only people mourning Landrieu's loss are Democrats that have had no experience with her as a Senator representing their state but think she was worthwhile because she showed up with a blue pin on, and Mary Landrieu's family members.

I'm pretty sure there are some family members of Mary Landrieu that are also breathing a sigh of relief that she no longer represents her state.

And her belief after the Gulf Oil spill that we shouldn't do anything to curtail the continued growth of oil exploitation of the marshes because "even if we move to more sustainable energy sources, we'll still need to increase our production of oil at the same time. And Louisiana's economy would not survive without oil." -- her stonewalling of New Orleans and Gulf Coast activists.

Blame racist Northern Louisiana voters and bayou-dwelling trolls. They're the ones whose hatred of liberals and black people is so visceral that they actively took steps to murder survivors in the aftermath of Katrina or leave them to die, which is more than the Rosebud white supremacists did.

And they are the majority of the electorate in Louisiana now.
