LA-04 Runoff, Predictions and Results

[Lief 🗽]

I thought LA got rid of run-offs for federal positions? Why are these two run-offs still happening?

I'm hoping Rahim wins, obviously. Don't really care about LA-04.

I wouldn't mind, at all, losing LA-02 and picking up LA-04.

Well, that sucks. I guess I'll have to root for Jefferson now. No use in letting the Republican spin tonight as a victory.

Sounds like we shouldn't have been surprised by the Cao win:  http://www.nola.com/timespic/stories/index.ssf?/base/news-0/1228028660197320.xml&coll=1

This is a major Republican resurgence with the two apparent wins tonight.  Well ... more seriously, consider this:

I'd have expected that we'd have a black as President before I would have guessed that Louisiana would have ever had the son of Indian immigrants as governor or a Vietnamese immigrant as the Congressional representative from New Orleans.

Hardly. Republicans barely held an R+7 district and beat a corrupt Democrat who no mainstream Democrats actually support in a seat that we'll win back by a 20-point margin next election.

Well, I retroactively endorse him.
