(and, as my edit above shows, we'd at least learn how to spell her damn last NAME correctly, unlike some people I could mention.)

If you WANT us to back people like her(btw, she's the last one like that we're GOING to need to back, since most of that wing of the party no longer exists)baiting us isn't going to help.

How about...oh, I dunno...making a POSITIVE case for Landrieu? And how about treating the people whose support you're asking for with actual respect?
