Sen. Mary Landrieu Hands GOP Challenger A Gift: “I Would Vote Again” For Obamacare, “
“I Am For The Affordable Care Act. Period. End.”…
How about it LSU, she going to win or lose?
Losing the argument and running out of ideas, Louisiana senator Mary Landrieu resorts to a tactic that worked wonderfully for President Obama.
As reported in Politico by Manu Raju:
“I would vote again for the Affordable Care Act. I’m for the Affordable Care Act. Period. End,” Landrieu said in a recent interview.

Just as a matter of political strategy, she's stuck with it, anyway. ("It" = her status as the pro-ObamaCare candidate in the race). It's not as if she could say "Ooops, I'm sorry this isn't working out" would help her now.
Plus, this statement has the additional advantage of being true. She really would vote for it again. She is a down-the-line partisan Democrat, and an unreconstructed big-government liberal. Supporting laws like ObamaCare is the central, core-purpose of her entire career in politics. If she's going to go down, she might as well go down swinging.

So she's in favor of an unpopular law that is causing millions to lose the insurance they had and drive costs up and medical options down. How the hell did she ever win an election in the first place?

1. Residual pro-Democrat loyalty from older white voters (we're talking 1996 here).
2. Overwhelming bloc-support from black voters.
3. Republican Party that was organizationally weak, plus Republican opponent that was disliked by many Republicans.
4. Coattail effect from the top of the ticket: Clinton 52%, Bob Dole 40%.
5. Fraudulent electoral practice from the biggest pro-Democrat parish in the state.
Even with all of those advantages, Landrieu still won by only 50.17% to 49.83%.

I hate the b*tch, never liked her, ever... Her support is purely to try to make obama look better and she doesn't have the clout to pull it off... She's simply nothing more than a liberal cuntbag. This really IS a blessing. Plus she looks too much like Killary Clinton, another cuntbag I can't stand.

even lapdog Senator McCaskill hasn't gone that far in her comments.. yet. And if there's anyone who tows the Obama line, it's her.

Yes. Her main opponent is Congressman Bill Cassidy from Baton Rouge.
