Some interesting stuff in here. I just want to add that, at least in some ways, LA seems more comparable to AR, MO, KY, and WV then to the other states in the Deep South. LA, AR, MO, KY, and WV all went for Clinton in '96, all five states had either a Democratic senator or governor prior to 2014 (WV/MO still do, in part because Manchin and McCaskill weren't up in the wave years of 2010 and 2014), and they all seemed to take a little longer to realign into solid Republican territory than did most of the other Southern states.
