The Simpsons were wrong! I love New Orleans after Landrieu's victory, which I must confess I did not think would happen. As the New York Times reported "Initial returns showed Ms. Terrell with a huge lead that vanished as vote totals from New Orleans were reported." Also, the Democrats were able to garner a big upset in a heavily Republican House district as well.

After November 5, Landrieu fired her campaign staff and hired the political operatives that ran Senator Tim Johnson's successful reelection campaign this year, making them the hottest team for Democrats this year. Twice, they've been able to successfully repel an incredible Republican onslaught. I'd imagine they'd be the hot team going into the 2004 Presidential Race, although it does look like their success has been based more on local than national issues, so perhaps it won't translate well to the national level. (Of course, people may have also said that about Carville and Begala in 1991).
