If money is the fuel that drives political machines, then incumbent U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu still has a full tank. Although the Democrat isnt releasing preliminary numbers, its likely that she out-raised her main GOP opponent, state Treasurer John Kennedy, since Jan. 1.
Its never surprising when Democratic or Republican spin machines fire shrill volleys at one anothers candidates, but its unusual to see a partys attack dogs going after a member of the media. That happened in Baton Rouge last week when the state Republican Party fired off a news release dissing TV station WBRZ for allegedly going easy on new Democratic Congressman Don Cazayoux.
