Well, this will certainly help convince Louisiana voters to support lifetime-Democrat-recently-turned-Republican John Kennedy in his campaign to unseat our state’s senior Senator, Mary Landrieu – NOT!
The Kennedy campaign sent an email to supporters on Thursday, which included a link for online contributions to his 2008 senatorial campaign. But when the recipients clicked on the link to donate, they apparently saw his opponent Senator Landrieu’s campaign website on their screen instead:
But the Kennedy campaign is correct in this case; the "technical issue" has been corrected. If you go to the emailed link now, you will in fact be directed to Kennedy’s extremely lame-ass website.
So yes, another indication of the quality candidate the Repubs are running against the most (and arguably, only) endangered Democratic seat in the U.S. Senate this fall.
At this rate, our unjustly maligned Democratic former Governor Kathleen Blanco may just have a shot at sending David Vitter back to the brothels full-time, in 2010.
Update: h/t to Ryan at The Daily Kingfish --
Seems we have an explanation for Kennedy's email fundraising snafu. Looks like somebody (perhaps the same person who designed Kennedy's stone-age website?) ripped off Senator Landrieu's mass email template and forgot to change the link! Thanks to Dailykingfish and The Guru for helping publicize this; Louisiana voters need to know about this kind of incompetence. Or maybe they already do, given Kennedy's rather anemic fundraising numbers. Won't be paying a real IT person anytime soon, I guess.

Kennedy supporters steered to the Landrieu site were treated to a picture of Landrieu and a call to "Endorse Mary’s Campaign." Pictures also scrolled on the Web site touting her for "Fighting for Louisiana Issues."But don't worry; the Kennedy campaign is on it:
Perplexed??? Jeepers...I am no computer expert, so can someone out there who is, please explain to me, how the hell do you f#$% up something like this??...campaign spokesman Jason Hebert said members of Kennedy’s staff were as perplexed as anyone about how the mistake happened.
"This was a technical issue on our end," Hebert said. "We are aware of it, and it has been corrected."
