Democratic U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu will be attending the “Lipstick, Laughter and Libations” fundraiser for Barack Obama next week. But she won’t be helping to host it—and her name was removed from an online fundraiser announcement.
Landrieu’s campaign said the senator, who is seeking re-election November 4th, never was scheduled to host the fundraiser for the Democratic presidential contender and her name only was added to the announcement as a mistake.
A spokesman for Landrieu’s Republican opponent, John Kennedy, said he believes the senator removed her name because she doesn’t want to be too closely connected with Obama in Louisiana, a state that is trending Republican in federal elections.
Landrieu, a second-term senator from New Orleans, is considered one of the country’s most vulnerable Democrats up for election this year. Landrieu endorsed Obama when it was clear he would be the Democratic Party’s nominee for president, but she hasn’t touted that endorsement in public appearances.
