The Associated Press reports that Mary Landrieu has won the Louisiana Senate Race:

"Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu beat back a fierce Republican challenge led by President Bush and won a second term Saturday, giving her party a midterm consolation prize that limits the GOP's Senate majority to 51 seats. Landrieu fended off Republican Suzanne Haik Terrell, the state elections commissioner who touted herself as a close friend and ally of the president. With 98 of precincts reporting, Landrieu had 624,214 votes, or 52 percent, and Terrell had 587,423, or 48 percent."

Anyone have an idea of which Republican senators we should be lobbying because they might not always vote their party line....such as on judicial nomination issues? Or is it hopeless, will every critical issue come down to a 51-49 vote with the Republicans and Bush Administration winning?
