The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is cancelling nearly $2 million in planned television ads supporting Senator Mary Landrieu in her runoff bid against Congressman Bill Cassidy. Political analyst Clancy Dubos says this is definitely a blow to the Landrieu campaign, but it’s merely a drop in the bucket of what’s expected to be spent in this election…
Dubos says political pundits predicted $50 million will be spent on this election, and this is only 4-percent of that total. Dubos says this move is not a death blow to Landrieu, but it still hurts…

Dubos says Landrieu can still raise a considerable amount of money, but she’s going to have to bring her salesmanship to the table…
