MIGHT AS WELL CHIME IN ON LANDRIEU



America's most asthetically-pleasing senator lives to serve another term. Ok, so her DINO-esque voting record ain't as pleasing on the eyes, but it's surely a heck of a lot nicer than Suzanne Terrell's stance on abortion, among other things.

If nothing else, Landrieu's victory means that Democrats have something to cheer about, after a lousy year and a lousy midterm election on the whole. She was all but written off a couple of weeks ago.

Did Trent Lott's I-miss-lynching comments at Strom's bday bash do anything to sink the Republicans in LA? I don't think so; given the relatively tiny amount of coverage they've received (they finally made it on to CNN today), I'm not sure how many turnout-conditional voters heard about them. Did the sugar thing propel her to victory? Maybe, maybe not. It certainly got her back in the game, if not over the top.

Word is that after the first election, they brought in the team that ran Tim Johnson's successful reelection campaign to run Landrieu's. Hmm, I guess that's what the folks at MWO have been doing on their vacation!

Anyway, go elsewhere to hear other high minds comment on this. For me, it was just nice to see Shep and the boys on the verge of tears.
