And Sen. Mary Landrieu has learned precisely nothing from the awesome collapse of Blanche Lincoln four years ago as she rolls out a new ad attacking President Obama on oil and gas drilling.
A new ad by Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) features TV clips of her going after the Obama administration's oil and gas policies, spliced with footage of Louisianans who appear to be energy workers in the state. The ad is running statewide with a buy of $250,000 this week, a Landrieu campaign source told TPM.
"The administration's policies are simply wrong when it comes to oil and gas production in this nation," she says in one clip. In another, she says there are 300,000 oil and gas workers in Louisiana, and "you can't just beat up on them." Landrieu chairs the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
So when Republican Bill Cassidy wins by 15 points in November, recall what Mary was doing to her fellow Democrats. Because the energy industry has been so good for the Louisiana coast.
Six of one, two pi of the other: I won't be unhappy to see the last of Landrieu and the ragged Blue Dog dead enders - provided that their destruction does not cost us control of the Senate. Keeping the gavel in the hands of the Honey Badger is worth keeping a squish or two around for another cycle.
