The 11th Hour Video Attacks of Louisiana's Senate Race

The 11 a.m. hour was busy for Baton Rouge, and busy for Mary Landrieu. The Louisiana Democrat, who trails in every poll of this Saturday's U.S. Senate runoff, gathered reporters in the capital city to emphasize how open her campaign was compared to that of the Republican frontrunner Representative Bill Cassidy. (The campaign is still hitting Cassidy over his work at LSU, and whether he's "double-dipping" salaries.) Meanwhile, the Black Conservatives Fund had called a press conference to roll out its latest find, a follow-up to its undercover video of Landrieu's chief of staff telling Democrats that the senator votes with the president 97 percent of the time. Landrieu's chief of staff is named Donald Cravins, Jr. His father, Donald Cravins, Sr., is the mayor of Opelousas; he was the star of video number two, which caught him telling voters to hit the polls twice.

"If you early voted, go vote again tomorrow," said the elder Cravins. "One more time's not gonna hurt. Tomorrow we're gonna elect Earl Taylor as DA so he won't prosecute you if you vote twice."
