SOURCES: NATIONAL DEMS TO THROW SUPPORT BEHIND MITCH LANDRIEU IN MAYOR'S RACE IN EXCHANGE FOR MARY'S VOTE Sunday, January 3, 2010, 12:32 AM **Exclusive Details** Once believed to be the front runner in the New Orleans mayoral election, Senator Edward Murray has dropped out!
Sources tell THE DEAD PELICAN that Murray's exit has made Lt. Governor Mitch Landerieu the new front runner, and he will be difficult to beat.
This is partly because the National Democratic party plans to provide massive amounts of Cash in support of Landrieu's mayoral bid, THE DEAD PELICAN has learned.
Mitch's backing by the national Democratic party comes as part of a deal his sister Senator Mary Landrieu struck with the Obama white house.
It is widely known that Landrieu received $300 million in medicaid funding in exchange for her vote to begin debate on the Obama health care proposal.
But sources tell THE DEAD PELICAN that Landrieu's vote has also secured support for her brother Mitch in the New Orleans mayor's race, by the National Democratic party!
Mary's support for the Obama White House will kill Landrieu's chances for re-election, sources tell THE DEAD PELICAN.
"She's doing something nice for little bro' on her way out," said a top insider.
