KATRINA WHO?:
GOP Senate majority grows as Cassidy crushes Landrieu (Jonathan Easley, 12/07/14, The Hill)
Democrats can't even win in a state where Republicans used Jedi-weather-control tricks to try and drown everybody.Rep. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) easily ousted incumbent Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) in their Senate runoff on Saturday, capping off a dominating midterm election for Republicans.The GOP's victory in the final race of the 2014 cycle cements their nine-seat pickup in the upper chamber, giving them a 54 to 46 advantage over Democrats come January. Though Senate control wasn't in the balance, Cassidy's win is nonetheless an exclamation point on a midterm cycle that saw big gains for Republicans.Polls in Louisiana closed at 9 p.m. EST, and the Associated Press called the race in favor of Cassidy at 9:30 pm with only 40 of the 4,018 precincts reporting and the Republican with a 64 percent to 36 percent lead.
