LA-3: Boustany v. Landry

[RogueBeaver]

Should be fun- whoever wins might be tapped to unseat Landrieu in 2014.

I'd really be amazed if Landry won.

Its pretty much understood that Cassidy will run against Landrieu in 2014 though.

Agree on both points

I still wouldn't rule out Landry. If he can take advantage of Boustany's open border's voting record, he might just pull it off.

He still has the whole state Republican party against him. He has a chance, but....

So did Kinzinger, if I'm not mistaken.

Kinzinger ran in a district that was about 30% his old district, 45% Manzullo's, and 25% other. LA-03 is 75/25 in favor of Boustany. Plus the Deep South's voting patterns are predictably provincial in this kind of race. Landry would need nothing short of a miracle to pull off a victory.
