Mary Snellings has huge Republican support in LA; many are disaffected with “Republican” Governor “Common Core” Jindal and will support their Mary again.

You can smell the desperation from here. Too bad the Republican leadership can’t take advantage of all the stumbling, bumbling, and scrambling the Democrats are doing. If they were interested in anything beyond protecting their careers they’d be clobbering the Democrats right now.

Penance is a good place to start, but it is too little, too late. Hope she and all the turncoats spend a good year freaking out and then pack their offices and go home. Time for the conservatives to run the show like grown-ups.

Good for Senator Baby Fat.

I wonder how she’ll afford when she loses her cushy job.

I am sure she is THRILLED to pay $1,000 a month for Insurance she used to pay a couple hundred a month for. It is nice that her $170K per year salary plus her husbands income allows her the opportunity to chose a plan that most Louisianans could never afford to purchase as $1,000 a month is more than most of their mortgage payments.

What a bunch of BS!

“Another meaningless gesture by a politician who has to face the results of her own bad conduct and failure to honor her oath of office. Just what does her buying an Obamacare policy accomplish? Does she think that somehow helps the people who lost their old healthcare plans and those who have to pay much more for an ObamaCare plan that is worse than what they lost?”

Great points. In orther words, she will do NOTHING to repeal this turkey but will show her solidarity with the unwashed masses by wallowing with us in the misery that is ObummerCare until after November 2014, when she decides to jump back to her gold-plated senator’s plan.

She is toast, and she knows it.

Interpretation: She'll win in a landslide!

Hope not!

She’s as dumb and ignorant as she sounds.

OK, she may PUBLICLY make noises about Obamacare, yet she shows her true colors by being one of the 52 who erased the 60 vote rule! On that alone she should LOSE!

Are we sure that she was even paying for insurance to begin with ?

Wouldn't it be more accurate to say that Taxpayers will be paying $1,000 a month for Insurance, for Landrieu, that they used to pay a couple hundred a month for ?

I think you are right! She must have seen some internal polling.

The only thing that worries me is that she should’ve been beaten last time around. Will we be able to overcome all of the ‘dead vote’and other voting corruption that goes on in this state?

You wouldn't believe how many Josef Stalin's we have in this country. Many of them count the votes.

Yep. We warned her - I warned her about obamacare. She just wrote back these canned responses that really added up to - tough, I’m voting for obamacare and that is that! Well, we warned her to start packing but she thought she was going to bring home all this money to the state and we would be grateful! WRONG! Obamacare affected the whole country and bringing home money to Louisiana when our country was going to suffer was not acceptable. So, bye bye to Landrieu. Hope she NEVER holds another political office in her lifetime.

“The low information voter from N. Orleans will vote for her as she busses them to the polls!”

I think the buses are still in the same parking lot...where they were sitting after the Katrina “evacuation” orchestrated by the Blanco and Nagin administrations.
