Sen. Mary Landrieu's (D-La.) reelection bid has been in trouble for a long time. It was in trouble before the Nov. 4 election, when polls showed her likely to lose a head-to-head match-up against Rep. Bill Cassidy (R). It was in trouble after that election, when she performed worse than polling predicted and when her weird, long-shot strategy of getting approval for the Keystone XL pipeline failed completely. And it is in trouble now for many reasons, not the least of which is the most important: The people who have already voted in the race are more heavily the sorts of people likely to vote against her.
