Who would have thought that Louisiana's senate election (now due to a run-off next month) would be so damn important.......As it currently stands, the GOP has 51 senate seats to Dems. 48, and the run-off may either make the count 52-48 or 51-49.
This run-off is important because of the possible filibusters that Dems would apply when fighting off the GOP's wishes to also control the SCOTUS.
Bear in mind that the SCOTUS status will impact on the upholding of Roe v. Wade and the continuation of Dodd-Frank...the only safeguard toward another WS banks' possible claim that they're too big to fail.
Uh-Huh, apparently the race is a real nail biter...
"According to The Advocate, a poll conducted by Trafalgar Group found 48 percent of respondents were firmly behind Kennedy (The Republican) and a further 10 percent were leaning his way.
Only 27 percent of respondents said they firmly support Campbell (The Democrat) with an additional 8 percent are leaning his way."
