Manness (sp) needs to do a last-second drop-out to ensure Landrieu is defeated without a run-off.

It’s simply the “right thing” to do.

You know, I really like Col. Maness, but I must agree with you. I’ve heard that Vitter is going to run for Governor in 2016 and Rob Maness could run for his Senate Seat. If he would do that, I’m thinking he’d win handily. Someone needs to put that bug in his ear. If he came out and made that announcement tomorrow, Senator Thunder Thighs would crap down both legs.

Mansess isn’t gonna win any statewide election “handily”. Voters tend to prefer people with records, people that they’ve heard of, like conservative Congressman Bill Cassidy. Not random guys with no political experience who say they are conservative. Many people will be interested in Vitter’s seat.

I didn't know about the Vitter-Gov-2016 angle ...

Accordingly, a last-minute Col. Maness feint (endorsement, drop-out) would psychologically "break-the-back" of the Landrieu campaign (and LA Democrats).

When Louisiana voters see that 65-perecent of their fellows are actually "conservative", they'd feel less embarrassed.

Col. Maness would also show that "it's NOT about him" ... and retire from the 2014 election with genuine HONOR.

That would earn him a 2016 Senate victory, perhaps even with (what's his name's endorsement).



Unless of course, the GOPe has reserved the 2016 Senate seat for Jindal ...
