LA and NC 2014 Congressional Races

[krazen1211]

Though its ambiguous as to which race, exactly, he plans on pursuing, outgoing Rep. Jeff Landry hinted at another run for something in the future.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Obviously, if he ran for Senate, Landrieu would be smart to engage in some Reid/McCaskill-style ratf-cking.

Allegedly Landry was behind some portions of the rumors about going after John Boehner.

Louisiana: Dardenne ‘Pondering’ Run Against Landrieu

[krazen1211]

Asheville mayor Terry Bellamy is forgoing reelction to run against McHenry in CD10.

Bellamy will win the Asheville chunk of the district easily, but there are lot of boxes to check elsewhere in the district. Barring a major anti-incumbent wave or scandal, McHenry is still a wide favorite.

Its simply disgusting what Republicans did to Asheville.  There is absolutely no non-political reason or precendence for what they did.  All of Buncombe county has always been in the district with the Smokey Mountains. 

That statement is about as meaningful as 'Will County, Illinois, population ~680k, has never been split into 6 congressional districts'.

Yet there it is.

Mr. Cassidy is a good man.

Given that Landrieu's already at 50, Cassidy has his work cut out for him. The pincer will help but 'tis not a miracle worker.

Scott Brown's approval was at 57% or so. So was Lincoln Chafee's in 2006.

I would expect this fellow to end up in LA-06.
