The Koch Brothers and Fox News are to blame for the Democratic Party’s woes in Louisiana, at least in the mind of Louisiana Democratic Party chairwoman Karen Carter-Peterson.
In a column on the Cenlamar website, Carter-Peterson wrote that while the party enjoyed some success in this year’s election cycle, the Koch’s and Fox News kept the party from selling it’s message of working for Louisianans.
“But the fact of the matter is this — the non-stop, onslaught of negative and inflammatory Koch Brothers ads, added to the toxic media environment driven by Fox News and the right-wing echo chamber, have made it challenging for us to drive out our message to voters,” Carter-Peterson wrote.
The column came just days after Republican Rep. Bill Cassidy defeated three-term Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu with 56 percent of the vote. Republicans also won the 5th and 6th Congressional District seats over Democrats that made the runoff in decisive victories. […]
Landrieu’s campaign spent about $16.8 million compared to $11 million spent by Cassidy.[…]
Carter-Peterson concluded her column by saying she was “upbeat” about the party’s chances in 2015 because voters have seen “a failed radical experiment in governance implemented by Bobby Jindal.”
