AR/LA-Sen: Dynastiboost for Landrieu, Pryor

[RogueBeaver]

Key takeaways: in AR Womack is leaning no, Cotton undecided but persuadable. Some unknown businessmen might also be interested if both men say no. For LA, Cassidy's the likely candidate but there might be a primary. They don't say who.

Probably Jeff Landry.

[RogueBeaver]

Quite possibly. Miles doesn't see a Landry entry as that likely right now, IIRC.

Its 50/50-ish for Landry, IMO, he's probably leaning slightly more towards against though.

Given that this is a jungle, might be a bad idea. As for AR, I'm thinking the reason for Cotton's hesitation is less frosh- after all, there's no better hopscotch precedent than Bubba- than the lack of an LBJ law. When Pryor's approval is north of 50 that's something to consider, though that's not necessarily a savior as Scott Brown can attest. If he does jump in then quite possibly the cycle's marquee Senate race alongside LA.

Apparently Darr will enter in April? He's by far the worst one to run against Pryor.
