This president has a proud record that should have been evangelized. Putting your star player on the bench for the championship round was so wimpy and timid. Letting the polls shift your senate and house campaigns to be GOP-lite. So here we are again.
Colbert, Stewart, Warren, Big Dog, Alan Greyson, Obama etc have all shown the way to own the podium and aggressively change the conversation against these GOP lunatics. When will Dems ever learn?
Like BO said, “We just got the car out of the ditch and they want the keys back.”
Like that.

Why is there no mention of the Louisiana Senate race?

If the idiots running the Al Gore campaign (are you listening, Donna Brazile?) had allowed President Clinton to campaign for them, W would never have been elected, 9-11 might never have happened, the Iraq War might never have happened, etc.
If three-time Purple Heart recipient John Kerry had found some of the sack he apparently left in Southeast Asia and asked the swift-boaters how many tours in Vietnam they had served, W would never have gotten a second term and the Great Recession might never have happened.
My point? Pussified Democrats never seem to learn that you cannot turn the other cheek against the playground bully. At some point, you have to man up, get dirty and start throwing haymakers of your own.

Because the Democrats have pulled their airtime and abandoned her to her fate.

They have pulled their ad buys, they are still spending plenty of dough in LA, however.
But even if they weren’t, LA is still very much up for grabs. One might even argue much more so than AK is.

TPM:
An Alaska Dispatch News review of the state elections data found that if the uncounted early and absentee ballots end up being distributed the same way Tuesday’s votes were, Sullivan would actually widen his lead over Begich.
Why does the Dispatch need to be cited to support basic arithmetic? I mean, if there are more votes distributed at the same ratio as the previous votes, then of course the winner’s vote margin is going to increase at the same ratio.
That doesn’t require review; it just requires third grade math.
well, the LA election result is known. The result is the forthcoming runoff. AK is a different situation in that the result is still pending.

The count has been going our way in CA-52.
There have been two vote-count updates since Wed. morning, and each time Scott Peters increased his lead by about 10% of the votes added (suggesting a split in the area of 55-45).
His lead now is almost 4500. I expect that there will be another 30,000+ votes added to the count, so DeMaio would have to win those by quite a large margin to make up the deficit.
