2014 US Congressional Election Results

Despite incumbency, a famous last name, and tons of resources, Pryor only ended up doing 0.4% better than Amanda Curtis. lol

Poor Mary, she doesn't deserve this treatment.

[IceSpear]

Well, the fact that she exceeded expectations means she could still possibly run for Governor or Senator in the future.

Not Thompsoned. Not Blanched. Not even Pryored/Santorumed! Well done Mary.

Straw?

As in, clutching at it. Louisiana is 30% Black. A convicted paedophile could probably poll 40% as a Democrat in a seriously contested statewide election (but no higher).

Are you insinuating Charlie Melancon is worse than a convicted pedophile?

So the DSCC spent millions on Pryor for him to lose by 18 points, and spent $0 on Landrieu who lost by 12. Thanks guys!

I don't know that we can call this a Blanching. Blanche Lincoln lost by 21 points, George McGovern by 19, Mark Pryor by 18, Rick Santorum by 16. Mary Landrieu lost by 12, which actually seems to me like a reasonably good showing for a Democrat running statewide in modern-day Louisiana.

Santorum actually lost by 18 (59-41).

And I'm saying this just to annoy Phil, but when you go to the decimal point, Santorum actually lost by 0.2 more than Pryor.

Well, it seems as if Cochran's primary reachout effort impacted the GE after all...

Hmm, that's pretty crazy. I wonder what the result would've ended up being if Cochran's AA support stayed the same as in 08 (but with the rest of the state still swinging against him).

If Warner matched Obama in VA-09, his statewide lead would be cut to just under 6K votes, down from 17K.

Wouldn't that mean it didn't save him?
