Landrieu holds rally, nobody shows up!

Thanks to you, I just got to see the rebroadcast of that report. Beautiful. The reporterette said that they were expecting a turnout of 1,500 to 2,000, but that they would have to start the rally late because "people are just now starting to trickle in." It was a live report, so I guess they expected to be able to report this great event.

You could see a smattering of people walking aimlessly about in the background.

I'm going to tune in to the 10 o'clock news to see if they run an updated report.

"This is my first time starting a thread. Please be gentle."

This is a great first thread news...better than that gloom and doom financial posts of all the layoffs and cutbacks and plant closings that other guy is posting.

I only wish we were going to get Thune from SD to go to Senate with Suzie Terrell.
Louisianans are not going to regret electing Terrell in my opinion.

If he doesn't like Landrieu too much, he's certainly in good company. I believe I heard him on a radio ad for Landrieu the other day. He's probably supporting her for CYA (Cover Your A$$) purposes more than anything else.

[alnick]

Oh, and while watching pretty much the only commercials that were aired were Terrell campaign commercials. There were probably six Terrell commercials to Landrieu's one -- well I should say Landrieu's half. Landrieu's commercial got cut off in the middle and they cut in with the intro music for the news show.

I got to see a new commercial for Terrell. It was an excerpt from Bush's visit where he said, "It makes sense for Louisiana to have a senator from each party, one democrat and one who represents the MAJORITY party so that Louisiana can get something done. Louisiana needs to elect Suzie Terrell as its next senator."

Dear nolawOady;

If you don't mind, repost after the local news N.O. time
I'm curious who showed up. Could be a major embarrassment
for Landrieu, two days (or 1 for Dems) before the election.

Terrell by 9 pts.

Almost no one showed up at Here's Mary's campaign rally in her stronghold of New Orleans? Lock, set and match. Game's over, folks. If she can't stir the liberals in her home base to come out in force for her, she's going to lose big and its going to be a rout on Saturday, people. I guess the Dems heard she's running as Mr. Bush's Friend and it was too much for them to bear. Come Sunday morning, Louisiana's most liberal Senator will be histoire. This news was too late to make it on the Rush Limbaugh Show today but you can bet the Maha Rushie will highlight this on Friday's program. These are not Happy Holidays for Bubba, McAwful and company.

was there a snowstorm?

[desertcry]

More power to you all.

[Paul Atreides]

I don't want to burst your bubble, but what is the weather like at the rally. Could it be that they couldn't get to it? I hope it is just that nobody cared to show up.

[Lizavetta]

Looks like she's got her own "crusty".

You know that black thing that Hillary is always wearing? That is Ol' Crusty.

[Paul Atreides]

LOL!

[alnick]

Not down here in New Orleans. I'd call it more of a lack of interest.

[Bahbah]

Great post. Good news, and good work. Keeping fingers crossed for Saturday.

[End The Hypocrisy]

The discovery of her D.C. mansion and family's net worth conceivably turned off her natural constituency. Maybe they view her as a fox seeking to guard their henhouse.

[Steven W.]

thank you for this report! Do not get complacent however! Remember a large percentage of DemoncRAT voters are never seen at rallies because they are DEAD! So take nothing for granted and be sure to get out and VOTE!

[Lizavetta]

crusty?

Pantsuit, a la Hillary. Although this *could* be just a blazer over a crusty skirt, can't tell from the picture.

[Steven W.]

I thought RATs voted on MONDAY (always important that they be directed to arrive AFTER the polls have closed ROFLMAO!)
