Louisiana was Dukakis's best Southern state.

Louisiana went 51-40 for Clinton in 1996.

As late as 2004, Louisiana had two (2) Democratic Senators.  As late as 2008, Louisiana elected Mary Landrieu to the Senate.

Until the Obama Administration, Louisiana's Cajuns were an elastic voting group.  They are now as inelastic as Louisiana's white Protestants due to the Democratic Party's elevating support of abortion on demand and opposition to Fossil Fuels to be "litmus test" issues for Democrats.  This is why Louisiana is presently uncompetitive, and why it will continue to be.
