LA-Sen: NRSC Pulls Out

The National Republican Senatorial Committee has decided to pull its television advertising out of Louisiana, a decision that drastically reduces the party's chances at its lone takeover opportunity in this election cycle.
The ads, according to buy information obtained by The Fix, will end next Tuesday -- two weeks before the Nov. 4 election between Sen. Mary Landrieu (D) and state Treasurer John Kennedy (R).

NRSC communications director Rebecca Fisher offered no comment when asked about the move to pull down the ads. <...>

The NRSC's decision to pull their resources out of the state makes Kennedy's task significantly more difficult. Those familiar with the Kennedy campaign argue he will have enough resources to win the race but with Landrieu and the DSCC now pounding him on television it's hard to see how the NRSC's pull out as anything but bad news for Kennedy's chances.

Remember how doomed Mary Landrieu was supposed to be this year? Remember how giddy Republicans were when Karl Rove himself poached turncoat Democrat John Kennedy to run against Landrieu? Remember when certain prognosticators called this race "a tossup all the way until election day"?

Looks like we can finally close the book on all of that.

Take that, turncoat Kennedy.

On to the 12 repukes on the chopping block:

OR
CO
NM
NC
VA
MN
NH
AK
GA
KY
MS

and maybe even ME. Coattails.

Turncoat rat John Kennedy didn't realize that the ship he jumped on to was sinking! I wish the presidential race was closer in LA, but I'm glad that the only Democratic incumbent the Repugs thought they could give the boot is now looking safe.
