Predict Margin (%) for LA-Governor

^ Two-thirds of Dardenne's voters would be too charitable, IMO. I'm not expecting any more than half.

Oh, come on. Dardenne and Edwards don't disagree on any major issues, and Dardenne is the type of guy who reinforces his positives in every action he takes. Even so, turnout against Vitter will be really high. It's not like Vitter is charismatic or a decent campaigner like Kentucky's Gov.-Elect Bevin is.

This post is a great example of the victor deciding history. Bevin was constantly pilloried during the race from all sides as a TERRIBLE campaigner.

You know, one of the possibilities is that the folks who "pilloried" Bevin were wrong....

Nope. Bevin only won because of voter fraud, voter turnout, and voter racism. People could never legimitately admire a man smeared by the media constantly.

I would have to reconsider supporting any candidate who wasn't "smeared" by the media constantly. Being "smeared" by the media is practically a badge of honor on the right. When the mainstream media is practically apoplectic I am giddy.
