To quote Al Franken, who was quoting Barbara Bush "I'm Through With YOU!"
Senator Mary Landrieu has GOT to go...plain and simple, she sucks as a democrat.
There's not a single, not ONE, issue that was important to democrats that she voted with the party.
She voted FOR the bankruptcy bill and FOR cloture (one of what, 6 democrats to vote with the R's?)
She voted FOR the omnibus spending bill language that restricts abortion at publicly funded hospitals. (I'll need to confirm the exact details, but it was an anti-choice measure nonetheless)
She voted FOR Alberto "abu graib" Gonzales. 'nough said there
She has most recently voiced support FOR the immunity of gun store owners that in gun liability cases.
...I can't think of ONE important vote where she sided with the democrats. She's like the reliable republican vote. The Times Picayune ran a comparison of her votes and she voted 65% WITH the republicans during the last congressional session.
My democratic group club calls her office before every important vote and the standard answer we get is "The Senator Has Not Made A Decision On That Issue" and "She Will Make A Decision When She Goes to Vote" and then the standard MO is that she votes with the R's.
So my question is WHY BOTHER? Just switch already and be done with it.
I'm voting for ANYBODY but Landrieu.
