I agree. Far better to have Landrieu win another 6 years than to finally beat her. This same tactic worked so well in DE and NV and AK. Why go for the sure win when you can hand the seat right back to the Democrats. Makes complete sense.
Louisiana has a runoff. I’m tired of the GOP Senators choosing who they’d like to work with, like some landed aristocracy.
They never shove a moderate out of a race when a conservative is ahead!
It is indeed surprising to me how many on good old FR ascribe to this crazy idea.
Personally I want Landrieu OUT. I want Harry Reid OUT. If that means GOPe control of the Senate then so be it. The idea that "teaching the Republicans a lesson" trumps control of the Senate for the last 2 years of the Obama Reign is simply naive. I am willing to fight that fight another day. A step at a time.
This fight will not be won in a single election cycle. We need a 2010 type election in the Senate in 2014 and we have a chance at achieving that goal. We need to eliminate Dem control of the Senate. Keep your eye on that target.
It’s amazing how many people still think this is a Republican website, isn’t it?

Yeah, we need to remember that it’s better to pass on the conservatives and back moderates in order to have a chance to beat the Dims, just as we did with McCain/Romney for president, and with George Allen, Connie Mack IV, Pete Hoekstra, Denny Rehberg, Heather Wilson, Rick Berg, and Tommy Thompson. That tactic worked out well in those cases, didn’t it?
Oh, they all lost to the Dims?
Yessssss.....
“Sending a message” worked SO well as a “tactic” in North Carolina that Lindsay Graham will never, ever work with the Dems again...
Oh, wait....
