Cassidy And Landrieu Agree To Debate [Opinion]

Hold the phone! Bill Cassidy and Mary Landrieu have decided to give most of us a reason to watch the Jets and Dolphins NFL game on Monday Nigh December 1. That's right, our state's current mud slinging champions will be muddling through another tepid, uninspired, and bland bowl of political pablum known as a debate on that very day.

Do I sound like a cynical voter that is weary of all the politics? I am and I bet you are too but still we need to pay attention to what Mr. Cassidy and Ms Landrieu say or don't say during this discussion of the issues. Okay, of the issues that they choose to discuss.

After Tuesday's election results many thought Mr. Cassidy would not choose to debate Senator Landrieu because she had everything to gain and he had a lot to lose. Now it appears as though the Cassidy camp has changed their mind. When asked why, in true politician style Mr. Cassidy answered this way,

"And, frankly, if she wants to add another, reveal to the people of Louisiana her closeness to the president.  Because on policy, there is no difference."

Not to be out done Senator Landrieu had this bit of political speak to add to the fodder,

"Not Harry Reid's record, not Mitch McConnell's record, not President Obama's record, not Bill Clinton's record, not Hillary Clinton's record, but his record.  It's the only thing he doesn't want to talk about."
