This election is about one thing...defeating Harry Reid and the democratic senate. Rob Maness may be a good person with all the right answers, but he has no chance of unseating Mary. None. A vote for him is a vote for Landrieu. I would not be surprised if the democratic machine is donating to Maness in order to split the vote even further. He needs to drop out of the race. Once we get hold of the senate, then I'm all for voting for him, but right now? No way. So go ahead and vote for him if you want, but when Mary wins, don't complain.

IF we are serious about not ending up with the Career Politician, we need to consolidate our votes and pull together; for the one that has the best chance to beat the incumbent.

If the poll is anywhere near accurate, Maness' 6% won't put Cassidy anywhere near 50% + 1 vote. Nice try, though. Looks to me like you need to work on the undecideds.

I agree we should get the Senate back from Uncle Harry if we can so we can at least have a voice in the Senate. I just wish we had some Republicans running we could feel more comfortable with.
I traded my Republican registration in after being stuck voting for McCain and Romney, because they "had the best chance of winning". I joined the conservative party and swore never to vote again for the "most electable candidate.' I don't by into the argument that a vote for Maness is a vote for Landrieu. I believe a vote for Maness is a vote for the best candidate, electable or not. And the fact is, neither Cassidy or Landrieu are strong enough to win with over 50%. Wouldn't it be great if we actually rallied behind the best candidate? or does that sound to much like a Tea Party doctrine? We are not going to win anything by electing Progressive minded people who call themselves conservative Republicans. All that will bring is a continuous slide toward socialism under a different banner. Don't forget how well it worked for Republican Scott Brown taking Ted Kennedy's seat and he immediately voted for Obama Care.
Replies like this is why Harry Reid could remain this country's leader. As I said, THIS election is not about the best candidate. It is about taking the Senate. The good of the country comes before the good of Louisiana. If you do not believe this, then you can stand in line behind 9 million new Democratic voters as they get their green cards, and our way of life will soon end. If the Dems remain in power, you will soon be standing in line to register your firearms, just like in Connecticut. I am over 60 so I can take whatever happens because I don't have to put up with it for too long, but I would like my children and grandchildren to enjoy freedom.
I am still waiting for ANYONE to explain what Rob Maness will do that is different than what Bill Cassidy and the republicans already up there will do?
Is it because he is endorsed by Sarah Palin? A Tea Party candidate? What?
I only know that I am not voting for Mary Landrieu or any other democrat. Other than that, I couldn't tell Maness' and Cassidy's platforms apart from each other. So someone enlighten me!

Ok someone who has more knowledge in this than me correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I understand LA has a "jungle primary", where if there are more than 2 candidates running a candidate has to get over 50% to win. If none of the candidates reach 50% then there's a run-off. If that's the case then this who fight about splitting the vote would be irrelevant.
The argument I believe is that the best possible scenario is that Mary is defeated without a run-off because anything can happen with a run-off.
But unless the primary was extremely close it would seem very improbable that she would win in a runoff. Say Mary gets 40% in the initial election and the remainder is split between Cassidy, Maness, and McMorris. So if it comes down to Landrieu vs Maness I don't see where Landrieu would get the 10% more she needs to win in the round 2 since she is the only democrat running.
Works in theory, but in a run-off the dems may dump more money in her war chest. Some voters may not turn out a second time to vote or more dems may turn out the second time when urged by the dems or Obama. Also argued that some repub voters may stay home and pout if their candidate doesn't make the run-off.
Yes that could happen but I would imagine the Republicans would put up just as much of a fight in the runoff as the democrats, so it works both ways. I'm not familiar with these runoff elections since my previous state didn't have them, but I'd be interested in seeing data that shows the average change in proportion from the initial election.
I'm voting for Brannon McMorris in the primary regardless even if there wasn't a runoff since I'm done playing the lesser evils game (and I'm not going to argue it here since I've already argued it to death elsewhere). However if a runoff happens I'll still come out to vote for Cassidy or Maness against Landrieu.

It's very simple...Rep's just need to dig up more dead people and illegals and bus them to the polls.
I would too.
With 8 candidates running (4 D, 3 R, 1 L), no one will win in the primary.
I we could all realize that and vote for who we want, Maness would have a greater chance at being in the runoff.
Too many people are saying they would rather Manness, but are voting for Cassidy in the primary.
