Quote: The Koch Brothers and Fox News are to blame for the Democratic Party’s woes in Louisiana, at least in the mind of Louisiana Democratic Party chairwoman Karen Carter-Peterson.

In a column on the Cenlamar website, Carter-Peterson wrote that while the party enjoyed some success in this year’s election cycle, the Koch’s and Fox News kept the party from selling it’s message of working for Louisianans.

“But the fact of the matter is this — the non-stop, onslaught of negative and inflammatory Koch Brothers ads, added to the toxic media environment driven by Fox News and the right-wing echo chamber, have made it challenging for us to drive out our message to voters,” Carter-Peterson wrote.

The column came just days after Republican Rep. Bill Cassidy defeated three-term Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu with 56 percent of the vote. Republicans also won the 5th and 6th Congressional District seats over Democrats that made the runoff in decisive victories. […]

Landrieu’s campaign spent about $16.8 million compared to $11 million spent by Cassidy.[…]

Carter-Peterson concluded her column by saying she was “upbeat” about the party’s chances in 2015 because voters have seen “a failed radical experiment in governance implemented by Bobby Jindal.”

Absolutely delusional. How does a person that clueless get a job with so much responsibility?

Low IQ is part of the Dem norm.

Yes, she's probably at the upper end of the Dem bell curve.

Always easier to blame someone else.

Are you referring to Mary Landrieu, the former real estate sales woman?

The only job she holds (that I've heard about) is Chair of the Louisiana Democratic Party. What job are you talking about?

Affirmative Action.

Not only is she black, but she's also a female. If you thought Shreveport's policies and crime were bad, just wait. Ollie Tyler just won Mayor. Female bosses usually go on the biggest power trips. I can already feel the false accusations of sexist and racist coming...

You nailed it. Instead of coming clean and being honest on why the Dems are getting clobbered, she uses the same old tired spin. Comical for sure.

Oh, I don't know. I tend to agree with her- things are looking good, reaaal good for the dims in Loosiana. Especially rosy for the '15-'16 elections, so I encourage them to just keep on, keeping on.

Leave this clearly competent leader of men and women alike right where she is, and please, please, please double down on exactly what you're currently doing. You're on the right track, stay the course!
