You are right. And Landrieu will come out the winner manes is a plant to keep votes away from Cassidy and make sure that Landrieu wins. She must be happy to know how her chances have increased her win
What Maness is gonna do is force a runoff. While that makes it more likely Landrieu pulls it off, (you’ll recall Vitter won outright in 2004, avoiding a runoff, Republicans got a majority of the vote in 2002 but Landrieu won the runoff against Suzie Terrell) she is still more likely than not to lose, she is very worried, just fired her campaign team the other day. I believe Cassidy will win, but I wish Maness was not running so he could win in November. Cassidy is no RINO despite what the Levin parrots say.
That’s not how Louisiana elections work.
