Senate Ratings and Predictions - Louisiana

[Mr.Phips]

Kennedy 57%-43%.  However if the shoe was on the other foot and Hillary had won and there was a hypothetical December runoff in Massachusetts, Republicans would win.

Nah, come on.

That's the way it is.  I remember Scott Brown, I remember Chris Christie, and I remember Joe Cao.

Then what about Jim Justice, Steve Bullock, John Bel Edwards, Heidi Heitkamp, Jon Tester, Claire McCaskill (!!), Joe Manchin, etc.? Jason Kander came close to winning as well.

(And didn't Cao lose badly in 2010?)

Well, pretty much all of them (save JBE and Manchin) won in Presidential years.  In non-presidential years with a Dem in the White House, Democrats often found a way to lose even in very blue states.
