Guys, I think you all underestimate the PUMA effect in the South.
Landrieu, Nixon, Rockefeller and Manchin (and Beebe in 2014) performed so extremely well because all the Clinton Democrats despised and still despise Obama. By voting for all those candidates they wanted to show their support for the Democrat Party while showing their hatred for the presidential nominee at the same time.
Simultaneously, Obama's nomination engendered a massive turnout in the African American community, so that Democratic down-ballot candidates profited by Obama's candidacy in two respects.
