Landrieu Holding La. Senate Seat

Republicans apparently failed to capture the one vulnerable Democratic Senate seat as incumbent Sen. Mary Landrieu was beating state treasurer and former Democrat-turned-Republican John Kennedy. Despite the socially conservative views of Louisianans, Landrieu has generally sided with liberals on key issues.

She has a 29 percent lifetime rating from National Right to Life versus Kennedy’s strong pro-life and pro-marriage positions. Landrieu voted to support Roe v. Wade as an “appropriate” decision and to kill the federal marriage-protection amendment in 2004 and 2006. She also voted against the confirmation of Associate Justice Samuel Alito to the U.S. Supreme Court.
