Mary Landrieu. I supported Cassidy in 2014, but the more she's been gone, the more I've realized that a great Senator is no longer in office (I'll still take the seat for the R's with no complaints though).

Vitter comes in second.

Objectively, Long and Ellender are about tied.

I'll gotta say Mary, though.

I have to question the wisdom of anyone who voted Vitter.
