As predicted long ago, one more Senate seat is about to be turned over to the Republicans, by Americans in Louisiana who are fed up with Democrat failures, lies, and criminal behavior.

Best of the Web Today: Fail Mary
Election 2014, the encore.
By JAMES TARANTO
Mary Landrieu isn’t just expected to lose re-election in tomorrow’s runoff. She’s expected to be trounced so badly that presumably sympathetic journalists in search of analogies are settling for allusions to Hurricane Katrina and the Islamic State.
“She has been rebuffed by her liberal colleagues in Washington and pilloried at home for voting with the president, and has watched helplessly while her Democratic base has eroded like a cheap levee,” observes the New York Times’s Richard Fausset, following up that lead with an understated second paragraph: “These are hard times for Mary L. Landrieu, the last Deep South Democrat in the United States Senate.”
ABC’s Jeff Zeleny offers this “analysis”: “To say that Democrats have thrown in the towel would be an understatement. The Iraqi Army fled Mosul slower than Democrats abandoned Mary Landrieu in the wake of the November thumping in Senate races across the country.”
The Washington Post’s Sean Sullivan and Karen Tumulty reach further back into history: “With the odds stacked heavily against her, Landrieu soldiers on virtually alone—this year’s political equivalent of those holdout Japanese infantrymen who were discovered waging war on remote Pacific islands decades after World War II had ended.”

Perhaps State Sen. Guillory might have something to do with her upcoming lack of work :salute:

The trouncing couldn't happen to a more deserving person, other than perhaps Hillary.

The 2024 nightmare for Dems will end today. Of course Obama is oblivious he is the main reason for the slaughter, and will continue down his path of what he and he alone wants and demands. Screw the Dem party - he no longer needs them nor I suspect wants them
Of cousre the R's should get cocky and blow this golden opportunity Obama has handed them

`Landrieu supporters papering town with threats of losing government benefit`
Quote:

As you can see, they are targeting a very select audience. The flyers were seen all over on the north side of Lafayette, Louisiana and were being handed out on street corners and in churches. People were pushing them into the windows of drivers and placing them on parked cars.
The language is pretty clear. If you qualify for public housing under Section 8, SNAP, WIC assistance or even Social Security (!) and Mary Landrieu is not reelected, all of these things will be taken away. And who takes credit for it on the document? A concerned citizen.

`Nothing has changed......That's was the entire Democrat party message the last election cycle from what I heard in the numerous TV and radio ads. Always telling people they will lose their government support if the Dems lose. It's clear to see why they want more people dependent on the government.`

I have a feeling this will be playing at the Bill Cassidy victory party.

`Democratic Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu defeated`
https://news.yahoo.com/democratic-louisiana-sen-mary-landrieu-defeated-022816240--election.html
`Republican victories in two Louisiana House districts Saturday — including the seat Cassidy now holds — ensure at least 246 seats, compared to 188 for Democrats, the largest GOP advantage since the Truman administration after World War II. An Arizona recount leaves one race still outstanding.....`
~ "This election does not bode well for Hillary. She and Bubba were in La. several times to show their support (but not their own money) as well as hosting fundraisers in places like NY for Mary. It was the Democrats war on the Keystone project, the war on oil and coal, the war on the military, the war on veterans, the amnesty to millions of illegals that would be allowed to get welfare, the war on Christian values especially Catholicism and a host of other issues such as the IRS targeting Christian and Conservative groups and the Obamacare lie of "if you like your insurance pland you can keep your insurance plan" ~

Mary Landrieu must have known she was going to lose since she decided to wear a "tire tracks" jacket at her concession. See link below:

What a shocker - the R's win was hardly mentioned on the Sunday shows yesterday. In most cases it was "reported" at the end of the show and the libs spent less then one minute talking about it as if it was a non story
So after picking up 9 Senate seats, double digits House seats, and several Governorships I think we should all send a Thank You card to Obama
We could not have had such a successful election cycle without his help
