GENERALLY POSITIVE COVERAGE FOR THE DEMS

Here are a couple of more media outlets on the Dems big win in Lousiana.

USA Today:
Dems' House wins show hard road ahead for GOP

By Richard Wolf, USA TODAY
For the second time in three months, a Democrat's victory in a House district previously held by Republicans is pointing to a difficult landscape for the GOP this fall.

The party lost Louisiana's 6th Congressional District, based in Baton Rouge, 49% to 46%, despite the national Republican Party's effort to tie Cazayoux to Obama, Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and their "radical liberal agenda." Republicans said the tactic helped to close an earlier gap.

"The NRCC approach is probably the best available tactic for the GOP in this Democratic year," wrote Hastings Wyman in his Southern Political Report newsletter. "Nevertheless, if it didn't work in this conservative Deep South district, it is unlikely to bear fruit in very many other areas of the country."
