| Description | Barack Obama's name on the fall ballot creates a politically tricky position for Democratic U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu as she tries to hold the delicate mix of support she needs to win a third term representing Louisiana.
Obama's Democratic candidacy is expected to boost the turnout of black voters, a pillar of support for Landrieu, in the November election.
Landrieu also must attract support from moderate white voters, especially Democrats who often vote Republican in federal elections. So she must avoid appearing tied to Obama, political analysts said.
