Georges - 15
Campbell - 9
Rest - 5

My only comfort is that I did fairly well on my prediction. I was only off by 1% for Jindal, Boasso, and Georges, and 3% for Campbell.

These are the percentages in Orleans Parish for each statewide office:

Governor

Georges (I) - 36.1
Jindal (R) - 34.6
Boasso (D) - 20.2
Campbell (D) - 7.6

Lt. Governor

Landrieu (D) - 89.1
Kershaw (R) - 5.1
Beard (R) - 3.6

Attorney General

Caldwell (D) - 48.6
Foti (D) - 36.7
Alexander (R) - 14.7

Secretary of State

Dardenne (R) - 52.3
Wooley (D) - 41.5

Agriculture Commissioner

Odom (D) - 52.1
Strain (R) - 32.8
Carter (R) - 10.1
Johnson (R) - 5.0

Insurance Commissioner

Donelon (R) - 51.2
Crowley (D) - 41.3
Lansden (R) - 4.9
Schneider-Kneale (R) - 2.6

Weird results. Did Georges win any other Parishes? And 85-90% for Landrieu and the two Democrats running for Attorney General, but majorities for two incumbent Republicans. Also, there were about 8k people (out of 76k total) who voted for Governor but left Sec. of State, Ag. Comm'r, and Ins. Comm'r blank.

Incidentally, who was the liberal candidate in this election?

Foster Campbell, although he was basically a one-issue candidate: abolishing the state income tax (for both individuals and businesses) and replacing it with a tax on oil/gas refining.
