Time to regroup and take some of the other side out.

What would it take to talk Allen West into moving to Louisiana and setting up residence?

“Time to regroup and take some of the other side out.”

I agree. Let’s do it! I’m tired of beating up on our guys while the liberal pukes get a pass.

About time to take the little wh--- from Naw'lins out the senate.
The state should be RED enough to do it with a good candidate.

If this guy runs, will somebody take him in a room and drill him for a couple hours on the “rape/abortion” question that destroyed Akin and Mourdock?

It’s not that difficult and it WILL be asked.
The correct response is “so you’re in favor of keeping convicted murderers alive and killing innocent pre-born children, is that right?”

Don’t bother..here in Louisiana, incumbency is King!! Once you are in, you are in. You can count on one hand how many statewide and congressional officeholders have been voted out in the last 30 years..and what makes it so damn irritating here in Louisana about landrieu is that she still gets a loyal chunk of so called gop who vote for her...when you ask them why they say she helps the oilfield..when you ask them what specifically..they look at you like a cow looks at an oncoming train..very frustrating..

Someone needs to remind him that Mary “had a little jihad” with members/groups from the moslem brotherhood in Dec 09 on St.Charles St.

I think “The Hayride” has the information.

You can sit home and bellyache if you want to, or spend all your time posting on FR telling other Louisianans to give up, it’s no use.

I ain’t.

I’m gonna do what I can to get Cassidy elected and remove Mary.

Jeff Landry should run.

Landry is in a runoff against Boustany in CD3. The talk is Boustany will win.

I’m contacting some folks around the state to check out Cassidy’s pedigree. So far, I’m getting a good response from people whose opinions I trust.

With the loss of 1 House seat, the leg decided to target Landry and the new lines effectively gerrymander Landry out, though I still hope he manages an upset. It’s Boustany who should get the boot. Landry is a good Conservative, and he ought to run against Landrieu.

I expect, however, there will be enormous pressure on all Senate Dem incumbents to stay put in 2014, because there are at least 12 or 13 vulnerable seats they have to defend that we botched in winning in 2008. Landrieu and Mark Pryor in AR are especially huge targets (and in the latter case, Rep-elect Tom Cotton of the 4th appears to already have his sights on Pryor).

The problem for Dems like Landrieu and Pryor is that they'll have to raise tons of money, campaign for monhs and for what, even if they win, they're a good chance they will end up in the minority..( the GOP WILL take the Senate in 2014.) Rockefeller will retire..he'd lose if he ran) and the GOP will get it right this time in S. Dakota..and I'm not even sure if Tim Johnson runs again also..

There isn't one GOP seat that's really at risk...

Oh, I know, but they’ll still have access to $$ simply because they’re in the majority. As for Rockefeller, he can still buy his elections. I don’t know which person we’re going to run against him at present. The problem with Rep. Shelley Moore Capito is that she’s pro-abort, and that’s not going to play well. We can’t run Raese again, that would be stupid. Perhaps Maloney, the guy who narrowly lost for Governor.

As for SD, I do believe Mike Rounds will run, but he really should’ve in 2008.

Rockefeller just came out with a statement attacking coal..that's the equivalent of announcing his retirement...and he's signaled it for some time, I believe..that's why Capito didn't run for governor this time..she could have won it..but she wants to be a Senator..

After this election..abortion will NOT be an issue...especially in WV..

If Susan Collins retires then Maine will be a problem. But otherwise all the other GOP senators are in deep red states, more so than in this year of disappointments. I think SD and AK ought to be major targets. Landrieu didn’t win by that big of a margin in ‘08 so I think she could be vulnerable. Isn’t Rockefeller in his mid 70s by now? He really should call it quits and if he does they should be able to win that. Baucus also has been around forever so I hope there is a strong candidate they might run up in MT but they seem to prefer Democrat senators for whatever reason. In any case we have to hope for a tsunami greater than 2010 to gain the 6 they’ll need to get Soiled Harry out as majority leader. Going to be very tough.

She’ll run. It’s in the family’s blood.
