Usually, a poll conducted on the U.S. Senate race by a conservative entity is not good news for incumbent Democratic U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu, who is seeking a fourth six-year term. Not so in the case of a recent survey by the Senate Conservatives Fund (SCF). It describes itself “as a grassroots organization dedicated to electing strong conservative leaders to the United States Senate. We do not support liberal Republicans and we're not affiliated with the Republican Party or any of its campaign committees.”
Two significant developments emerged from SCF’s poll. They are: Republican U.S. Senate candidate Rob Maness is surging and gaining ground on Republican U.S. Rep. Bill Cassidy, the GOP’s anointed candidate in the race. The polls shows Cassidy with 32% and Maness at 16%. Ken Cuccinelli II, president of SCF said, “Colonel Maness is surging because the establishment Republican in the race, Congressman Bill Cassidy, is an uninspiring candidate who offers no real choice over Democrat Senator Mary Landrieu.” The other significant development revealed that Landrieu is nearing 50% in a runoff scenario with both Maness and Cassidy. In the survey question about all three candidates, Landrieu had 43%, while Cassidy had 32% and Maness 16%.. But in head-to-head match-ups, it was good news for the Landrieu camp. Maness, according to the SCF survey runs a better race against the incumbent than does Cassidy. Against Cassidy, the result was Landrieu 49%, Cassidy 43%, and Undecided 8%. Against Maness, the result was Landrieu 48%, Maness 44%, and 8% undecided. Cuccinelli noted that in March, Maness had 3% support. It rose to 8% by June and now has doubled to 16% in less than two months.

which is kind of strange considering the other thread just started: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3200521/posts
The gopE will get their “man” into the office. Whether it be Landrieu or Cassidy. And they’d rather have Landrieu than Maness.
The democrats have very skillfully divided and Conquered us. They got the Rino’s to levely war upon their own ‘Tea party’ base dooming themselves.
Our party leaders either have a death-wish for the Party, or are the biggest bunch of gullible baboons this ‘country’ has ever seen to fall for democrat plant suggestions hook line and sinker.
The reelection of republican party chairman reince priebus and house speaker John after their proven skill in snaking defeat from the jaws of victory in 2012 seems to indicate that the RNC is truly more under the influence of Obama & liberal intrest than their political base.
