A clean sweep! Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu, burdened by ties to an unpopular president, lost her bid for a fourth term on Saturday to Republican Bill Cassidy. With less than 1% of precincts reporting, the Associated Press projected that Mr. Cassidy, a physician and three-term House member, would win the states runoff election. Mr. Cassidy had 65% of the vote to 35% for Ms. Landrieu. The outcome means that Republicans emerge from this years midterm elections with nine additional Senate seats and will hold a 54-46 majority when lawmakers are sworn in next year. Wheres the Democrat in the South? Extinct.
