LA: KPLC: Edwards crushing Vitter in runoff

[Xing]

Toss-up at this point. LA is one of the few pretty Democratic-friendly Southern states. Democrats can still win here with the right candidate.

I expect a lot of Dardenne and Angelle voters who abstained from the runoff this time to probably just suck it up and vote for Vitter in the end, but great news nonetheless!

It takes a lot of effort for people to show up to the polls a second time in such a brief period. I'd bet on them not showing up. People tend not to care. Especially when it's a 2nd election with a foregone conclusion in an odd numbered year.

Black turnout in the South has always been very high, even in runoff elections.

What logic comes out of this? The Democrats have nothing there and haven't gotten close to anything since pre-2010 times.

Well, when was the last time they ran a conservative or moderate Democrat like Edwards?
Just so that y'all know: Edwards is pro-gun and pro-life. His candidacy is certainly good news for Louisiana Democrats, but not necessarily for those hoping for a truly progressive agenda in the state.

Hmmm, that wording seems awfully familiar...

I still don't believe it.

I still don't believe it.

It is hard to believe.

[DINGO Joe]

I still don't believe it.

It is hard to believe.

Meh, sounds like Vitter to me.

Old stuff from the 2010 election -- but still relevant.

This was before the mistress who alleges to have had a baby by him.

To be sure there is lower life in Congress. Everyone has E. coli bacteria in the digestive tract!

Damn, you noticed it xD. Don't sue me for copyright infringement, I just couldn't have said it better myself.

I suppose I should be flattered, if anything.

Republicans should really be hoping that Dardenne or Angelle lock Vitter out of the primary, or else Republicans could really be in danger of losing this.
