Landrieu fires campaign manager
With three weeks until Election Day? Not good, not good at all...
Sen. Landrieu Shakes Up Staff, Ousts Campaign Manager

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu is shaking up her campaign staff, ousting her campaign manager and turning to the strategist who helped her brother win election as New Orleans mayor.
The three-term Democratic senator is fighting for political survival, locked in a tough re-election bid against two main Republican challengers and targeted by the national GOP in their effort to regain control of the Senate.
Adam Sullivan has been replaced as manager by Ryan Berni, who has worked with Democratic strategist James Carville and ran the successful mayoral campaign of Landrieu's brother, Mitch.
Sullivan will remain on the campaign with the title of senior adviser.
Norma Jane Sabiston, Landrieu's former chief of staff and longtime political adviser, is returning to campaign work for the senator. She has been involved with all three of the Democratic incumbent's prior Senate races.
