Landrieu leading in new poll
Polling data shows that Mary Landrieu has a small lead over turncoat John Kennedy in the 2008 Senate race.
I think these upcoming elections will be interesting. Closed primaries make it so only one Republican and one Democrat can be in the race. However, there can be many different “no party” candidates who decide to run as well. This leaves the door open for someone to win with a plurality and it does not require a simple majority. It will be interesting to see the faces on the Republicans who supported the closed primary election system if Landrieu does win but does so with less than 50%.
Of course, considering that Mary Landrieu is the actual Louisiana Congressperson to get us our fair share of oil revenue (not Bobby Jindal) and she also got us additional recovery funds, I find it hard to see how she will not get elected to another term. Oyster has more on this over at YRHT.
