It was the noted philosopher Bullwinkle who once said:
After all the runoff rabbits Mary Landrieu has pulled out of her hat over the years, could this one coming up on December 6th finally be a bunny too far?:
Rasmussen Reports’ first survey of the Louisiana Senate runoff shows Republican challenger Bill Cassidy comfortably on his way to joining the new GOP Senate majority.
Cassidy posts a 15-point lead – 56% to 41%- over incumbent Democrat Senator Mary Landrieu among likely Louisiana voters in our latest statewide telephone survey. Just three percent (3%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Landrieu edged Cassidy, a U.S. congressman, 42% to 41% on Election Day earlier this month, with eight candidates officially in the race. But under Louisiana’s so-called “jungle primary” rules, the contest will now be decided by a December 6th runoff because no candidate cleared the 50% mark.
Eighty-seven percent (87%) of the state’s likely voters say they are certain to vote in the runoff, and Cassidy leads 57% to 41% among these voters.
Wow. Looks like that internal Republican poll last week showing almost exactly these numbers wasn't an outlier after all. It also looks like having persuaded Harry (G)Reid to bring Bill Cassidy's House-passed Keystone XL pipeline bill to a floor vote and voted for cloture only to have the rest of her caucus-mates filibuster it to death wasn't enough to save her chubby rump.
Of course, I throw in all the caveats about the race not being over, the horse isn't yet in the barn, the wheat is not yet eaten, the cheese has not yet bound, the nut has not been busted, etc., etc., etc. But....fifteen points. In two weeks. A few points at the margins can be overcome by the Donk voter fraud machine, but not a sinkhole of this magnitude.
The opera isn't over until Mary Landrieu sings....
....but she certainly looks like she's warming up the ol' pipes.
Probably mortgaged her hat, too.
