Composure: By being the leading voice in the Gulf Coast Act Senator Landrieu has shown confidence towards her values.

Bill Cassidy

Rob Maness
Expertise: As seen on his website, Maness has demonstrated a strong sense of competence. "Rob has proven his competence at the local, state, and federal levels of government with his demonstrated leadership and effectiveness as a steward of citizens' tax dollars."

Inspiring: "His leadership and combat experience, gleaned from over 30 years of military service, provides Maness with a invaluable perspective when considering national actions and their resulting impacts on our country’s families."
Dynamism: Maness showed little enthusiasm for his topic as he presented the speech in the video. Although he may stand for what he believes, it is difficult to get enthusiastic about his message.
Bill Cassidy has the highest credibility of the three candidates, mainly due to his sociability.
