LA and NC 2014 Congressional Races

[Incipimus iterum]

Wasn't the 2008 Louisiana Senate race fought under a closed primary instead of the jungle primary?

There was a brief period of time (2006-2008 ?) where House and Senate races didn't have a jungle primary, yeah.

Yes, the jungle primary was just reintroduced in the 2012 cycle for federal races.

Any reason why they reintroduced the jungle primary?

At the beginning of the march, I was looking around, but Vitter happened to walk in front of me:

Vitter speaking:


I was kinda hoping Vitter would announce for Gov at this (because it would be cool to be the first ones to hear that) but I guess it makes sense that he didn't.

Cassidy and Dietzel:


With Cassidy:


He asked me what I was majoring in and I said International Studies. He said I should come work for his campaign.

"I dunno. Mary has been in there for a while and has seniority. Why would we trade that for a freshman." After I said that, he kinda smiled at me slyly, like he'd figured me out. "Because next year, she'd be in the minority." When I said I still wasn't sure, he was like "We'll talk later." I guess that was politician code for "Okay, I've had enough!"

Nice Pics
