La.’s Landrieu looks for independent, GOP support
_____________________________________________________________
And, she will get it; just to keep a Conservative from winning. But, we don’t call them Independents anymore. We call the “RINOs”.

Why should anyone in Louisiana want to vote for her is a mystery.

It’s not a “mystery”, it’s “Demographics”. If it wasn’t for New Orleans, no Landrieu or Democrat would ever win a state-wide election in Louisiana.

How will an Open Primary prevent it? I hope you’re right, but, if the Liberal Pubbies think that she has a chance of being defeated by a Tea Party-style Conservative rather than one of their guys, they will vote for her. They hate us that badly. Or, if she is in a run-off with anyone other than a RINO, the RINO lovers, who say they are Republicans, will vote for her. Am I right or wrong?

If LA reelects this fat member of a corrupt family, I will be very disappointed.

In the open primary system, Soros would be wasting his money by bankrolling a libturd candidate who would not make it to the runoff.

The other item that may impact this race is that the primary isn’t until Nov. 4
which for the rest of us is general election day. So there is a lot of potential
for things to arise to impact the race.

How does an open primary stop a third party “libertarian” from bleeding off Republican votes in a general election?

*************

The LA Primary is really a ‘jungle primary’ in which all candidates no matter which
party, independents, others, etc all are listed on the ballot. The winner must
get 50% +1 vote to win. If that doesn’t occur then the runoff is between the top
two voter getters regardless of which party they are in.

The primary occurs on Nov. 4, with a runoff if needed occurring on Dec. 6.

She needs to contact her boy Hussein, aka the antiCHRIST, to show her the way to hell, and then go there!

Not only did she vote for Obamacare, but her vote was bought with special favors from the White House.

The Louisiana Purchase!

And I don’t recall her asking for, or needing, GOP support to do that. The act was “deemed” to have passed in her shop, and then shoved down, I mean rammed up our...well, you get the point.

Will she, in turn, support GOP efforts if re-elected?

Landrieu has been a political name in Louisiana for decades. I doubt it will change anytime soon.

Because there is a runoff if no candidate wins a majority of the vote. It would work just as well to have Georgia's system that has separate primaries but if the result on election night has no candidate with an absolute majority, a runoff election is held. That's how Coverdale beat incumbent senator Wyche Fowler in 1992. An open primary often just gets the two most wishy washy centrists into a runoff.
