BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) -- Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu, who faces a tough re-election, has had her name removed from a fundraiser announcement for presidential candidate Barack Obama.

Landrieu will attend the "Lipstick, Laughter and Libations" fundraiser for Barack Obama at a Washington restaurant next week, but she won't help host it.

Landrieu's campaign said her name only was added to the online announcement of the fundraiser on Obama's Web site as a mistake. Her Republican opponent's campaign said she is trying to keep her distance from her party's presidential candidate and removed her name after they pointed it out.

Hmmm, If a Republican did what Ms. Landrieu is doing there would be charges of racisim! Could it be Senator Landrieu is a racist?

"Schneider said a member of Landrieu's campaign finance staff saw the error and asked the Obama campaign to remove the senator's name from the announcement."
