Has anyone brought up the possibility of two Democrats sneaking into the top 2 with all these Republicans running?

no because it's not going to happen

Landry will not be well liked by polite society but he'll be very formidable. He may even get 50%+1 and second place won't matter

I wouldn’t be surprised if we never see another Democrat Governor of Louisiana in this century. JBE was probably the last of his kind to be able to win over the requisite rural support to win. You can’t win Louisiana based on doing well in suburbs like you can in other states.

JBE won both of his terms in part because he won in Jefferson and St. Bernard Parishes
