LA-06-SurveyUSA: Cazayoux favored in special election

Because they are both conservatives and this forum is overwhelmingly liberal.

Hey, man, I'm sure that could be a part of it, but this is LA-6.  Bush got 59%.  Jenkins has a 13-percent approval deficit, and it's 52 points among independents.  There's got to be something about the guy that's unappealing.

Bags. Jenkins is a polarizing figure within the Louisiana Republican Party. Just read the old threads.

This poll raises another question. Why didn't the LA GOP establishment embrace Laurinda Calonge in the runoff?

They did (at least mostly). And might have done so more enthusiastically if Jenkins hadn't come quite so close to winning on the first round, ie if they had had any hope of stopping Jenkins.

Don Cazayoux and a cashew... What do they have in common? They're both nuts.

Louisiana has moved to more normal, less sane primary rules, yes. But they're still doing things their own way - the primary runoff is just four weeks before the general election, the last primary in the country.

And I wouldn't bet the house on Cazayoux holding this district4ever. Way too many LA-1 type suburban ultrapartisan Republican types for comfort.

Chalk up yet another pyrrhic victory for the Club for Growth.

Eh. Scalise was their candidate as well.
