BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) -- Republican Rep. Bill Cassidy has defeated Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu, denying her a fourth term and extending the GOP's domination of the 2014 midterm elections that put Republicans in charge of Capitol Hill for the final two years of President Barack Obama's tenure.

With Cassidy's victory, Republicans will hold 54 seats when the Senate convenes in January, nine more than they have now. Republican victories in two Louisiana House districts Saturday - including the seat Cassidy now holds - ensure at least 246 seats, compared to 188 for Democrats, the largest GOP advantage since the Truman administration after World War II. An Arizona recount leaves one race still outstanding.

Exactly what was expected. I never was impressed with her efforts during Katrina. The original estimates by 97% of the polls were 54. Nothing new or any more surprising than when the Democrats in 2016 take it back at about 57. 2018 will be the next non structural sweep.

Until the White House can be won by a Republican, nothing much will change.

Landrieu's a DINO.
