Meh. We get the slightly less unpleasant choice. Although maybe Cazayoux will surprise me, I am skeptical.

6,688    41.16%   "Don" Cazayoux
8,978   55.26%   Louis "Woody" Jenkins

With 64 (12.5%) of 512 precincts reporting.  Not good for Cazayoux.

Watch the parish breakdown. Basically nothing from East Baton Rouge Parish, which is the bulk of the district, against a large chunk of 77%-Bush Livingston Parish.

Cazayoux leads in East Feliciana with 21 of 23 precincts in. It was for Bush by 10%, so a strong result for him.

Although since the district as a whole was Bush by nearly 20...

True; it all depends on his margin in East Baton Rouge. Livingston is now 45 of 63 in with just 2 of 315 from East Baton Rouge.

For comparison, Cazayoux is at 70% in West Baton Rouge, which Bush won by 8. (16 of 21 in)

Okay, Livingston is now 61 of 63 in. This should be the peak for Jenkins; the question is how Cazayoux closes.

Jenkins is carrying East Baton Rouge Parish.

Certain areas, certainly. That's no surprise.

It's not suspicious, guys, it's reporting patterns in the South. Light!

Cazayoux now leads in East Baton Rouge with 121 of 314 in. If current patterns hold, Cazayoux wins the seat with over 50%.

Anyone know what Ashley Casey's support block is, other than voters who don't care about wasting their vote?  Her Politics1.com website link goes to a Green Party congressional candidate in New York State.  If Cazayoux gains some ground but the final result is within 3.8% either way, her vote could be greater than the margin of victory.

(No matter what her political views are, I suspect her supporters are Republicans who hate Jenkins but can't stand voting for Democrats.)

Poor (read: black) areas always report late in the South.

Outside of East Baton Rouge everything is in save one precinct in Livingston.

Anyone know anything about the part of Pointe Coupee in this district? The parish as a whole was marginal in 2004, but this part was intensely for Cazayoux.

Apparently not. Louisiana has begun to abolish them.

I think that would be some ridiculous number, like 50. Not going to happen.

What's going to keep the GOP from getting shellacked in November? Money? GOTV? Improved conditions in Iraq? The economy getting better?

Dems realize they have the momentum after winning in IL-14 and LA-06. The money will be there for Dem candidates. The volunteers will be there. Dems will twist the arms of family members to vote Dem.

60% of open seats less Republican than this one, okay. (I think 60% would be about 10 seats.) But 60% of all seats less Republican is absurd.
