You are of course right: we cannot afford to be the least bit complacent.

In fact: It should be the top priority for us all to contribute in every way possible to the defeat of Landrieu. There is no telling what might happen if the Democrats win in South Dakota and in Louisiana: you will recall that we have another New England "Republican" Senator who is contemplating another Jeffords-style betrayal, threatening that if the Republican Senate goes too far in its conservative agenda he will leave the party and support the Democrats. If we win in Louisiana, the Republican majority will be secured even in the event of such a switch.

If by winning in Louisiana we have just one seat to spare, this will have two crucially important benefits:

1. It will suggest to any possible Republican defector in the Senate that there is nothing to be gained (and much to be lost) by stabbing the Republican Senate majority in the back, since Republicans would hold a multi-seat majority and, retaining control, would be in a position to exact retribution.

2. As long as the Republican majority holds by merely a single vote, Republicans will be held hostage to the threat that other prospective Republica traitors in the Northeast will jump ship if Republican agenda appears "too aggressively conservative." In other words, if we win in Louisiana and hold an extra Senate seat as a buffer, such restraints on the Republican majority (especially in judicial appointments) will be removed and we will be free to retrieve America from the Democrat political death grip which has been choking the country for decades.

3. Therefore, Louisiana is "must win" if we are to have a free hand to accomplish our goals and have any hope of saving our country from its vulnerability to a slide into irretrievable moral, intellectual and economic degradation.

Not only that but--God forbid--a Republican senator from a state with a Rat governor die in office.
