When Mary Landrieu has to

When Mary Landrieu has to campaign on the basis of her 75 percent support for President Bush, it suggests that Louisiana voters are probably inclining to someone who can do better than a “C” in support of the president on the issues they care about. The Times reporter of course draws no inferences from her statement, but it seems to me a remarkable symptom of what Robert Novak’s column earlier this week called “Mary Landrieu’s dilemma.”
