DescriptionBATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — The Louisiana Republican Party may sanction more than two dozen prominent Republicans endorsing incumbent Democratic U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu over challenger John Kennedy in the Nov. 4 election.

After Saturday's quarterly meeting of the Republican State Central Committee, state GOP Chairman Roger Villere said several party members want to adopt some formal mechanism to censure GOP officials who break with the party's candidate in a race.

But any censure resolution or bylaws change will have to wait until after this year's elections, Villere said.
