From what it seems, it might be best if Anderson and Lieberman just dropped out to increase Edward's chances of breaking over 50% because that will be the only way Edwards could win here is in the primary. So if Edwards wins here and Ratcliffe beats Hall in the primary, Edwards would be the only WWII veteran in Congress and could surpass Hall as the oldest serving, incumbent member of the House of Representatives if Edwards ran again in 2016, so a lot of historical things at stake. Nonetheless, even if he does win, the seat wouldn't stay Democratic for long given Edwards would want to retire at some point.
This would be really funny though if Cassidy not only loses to Landrieu, but the Republican stronghold seat he was forced to vacate also fell to a former convicted felon and Democrat. Edwards has a ceiling and he'll need high turnout from Baton Rouge with more focus on the issues than anything else in Edwards personal life. He's doing a lot better here than I thought he would have, though he has the benefit of high name ID and I saw him on
Chuck Todd the other day defending his chances for there being just as many registered Republicans as registered Democrats, talking greatly of both state parties, shockingly having a Republican wife, says the convictions came under Buddy Roemer and had nothing to do with it, and would have supported Obama, but supports the pipeline and against Obamacare, so he's wisely taking a conservative approach in this district. It probably tilts-leans Republican for now.
