NY Times Hints Landrieu is Toast The New York Times doesn't actually come right out and say it, but even a cursory reading of its coverage of the Louisiana Senate race reveals that reporters know incumbent Democrat Mary Landrieu is going to lose to GOP challenger Suzanne Terrell. Exit polls on Election Day showed that voters in swing Senate races listed abortion as a major concern, with pro-lifers having the edge. In fact, those who cited abortion as their most important issue voted overwhelmingly for the pro-life candidate. The Old Gray Lady, however, has been conspicuously silent on this trend. Typically Times editors highlight a candidate's pro-life stance only when that candidate is likely to lose. Saturday's Times offered a comprehensive analysis of the Louisiana Senate race, contrasting the positions of Landrieu and Terrell her on everything from Iraq to funding for the Boy Scouts. Yet nowhere in the paper's lengthy report did it get around to mentioning that Landrieu is pro-abortion while Terrell is pro-life. Translation: The New York Times knows Suzanne Terrell is going to win. newsmax.com
