Look, LA is not AR or TN. Democrats can still win there. Even Landrieu got 44% despite her terrible campaign.
Low excitement about the election and the runoff system probably helps republicans.
If anything, that helps the Democratic candidate. Southern Blacks turn out at a higher rate than AAs in other parts of the country, whether it's a runoff election or not.
I don't really see what was so bad about Landrieu's campaign. What else could she have done?
She was a democrat in a year where southern democrats were wiped out. She should have run as a republican
lol
