Runoff election in Louisiana, 2014

     This is something you don't hear every day. (At  least I don't.) In the race in Louisiana for Senate, they have had to make a runoff race that will be held December 6th. From having 6 candidates running, only two will actually run the runoff race this coming month. For one it is the incumbent (D) Mary Landrieu, who got 41.1%, against (R) Bill Cassidy, who got 41%. None of these two got the necessary over 50% and for that they will have to have a runoff. 

     Louisiana tends to be very reliably Republican if the 2008 and 2012 elections are anything to go by as they voted a little over 50% leaning towards the Republican Candidates vs current President Obama. 

     Landrieu is running for her fourth term and it is worth to note that she has never won a single campaign with no more than 53%. Democrats also backed off the ads since Republicans already have control and it won't do any harm if she wins or not since it is almost clear that Democrats will struggle to get things done with Republicans running.
