Louisiana Runoff Results

70. NOT surprising

Senator Landrieu won her first election as US Senator against Woody Jenkins, an AWFUL candidate who contested the election for months. . . .

Perhaps Ms. Landrieu would have lost anyway, but she is a perfect example of a democrat (small "d&quot who tried to "out-Republican" all the nut jobs. . . . I clearly recall Ms. Landrieu stating that "Louisiana is the perfect example of how big oil and the environmen can co-exist successfully. . . ." Really, Ms. Landrieu? Really? New Orleans for one, wouldn't have had the severe flooding post-Katrina had so much of the low lying areas not been denuded by the oil companies dredging canals into the wetlands thus exposing them to salt water and killing them.

Given Ms. Landrieu's awful opponent, I would have voted for her had I been a resident there. Nonetheless, it's very hard to get excited about ANY candidate when it boils down to whether one candidate is simply less offensive and less obnoxious than the other. NOBODY wants to hold his/her nose when they vote even though the alternative would clearly indicate voting for the lesser of 2 evils is actually a wise choice.
