Which democrat will run?

state senator Gary Smith?

Smith, IMHO, would be one of the best. Moderate conservative, from somewhat Republican-leaning district,with crossover appeal. But to win he would need a very polarizing Republican candidate (like Manes or, may be, Fleming). Against more pragmatic Boustany, Kennedy and Angelle probably no Democrat has really good chances...

I've heard ex-Rep. Don Cazayoux's name mentioned, and he made a few local media appearances leading up to the Gov. election, IIRC. 

Could you provide a phonetic breakdown so I can pronounce his name? I can't be the only one that needs this.

ex-Rep. Joseph Cao (R) is also running for Vitter's seat.

I like Joseph Cao, I'd think about voting for him if the Democrat was pretty abominable, but dude has a 0% chance of winning.

This is turning into the free-for-all we were initially expecting in 2014 (well, at least on the R side). Not surprising, as Vitter is checked out and musn't be strong-arming some into not running like he did last time.

Tactically, I guess this would hurt John Young the most, if he runs. His base is next door in Metairie and would have naturally picked up the Republicans in the area.

He has a good chance if more Tea Partiers jump in.

^ Fleming and Maness already are, so they should share the vast majority of the tea party vote.

^ He'd be the type of Democrat that could win. He also has nothing to lose, as he's termed out in 2019 anyway.

The ideal scenario for Dems would be an intraparty runoff with him and Gary Smith. Both are blue doggish and could most feasibly hold the seat going forward.

I would vote for Cao in a heartbeat, but I want to see Lafleur enter.

Looks like North Carolina Democrats are stuck with the current congressional and legislative maps:

Disgraceful.

I got put in a district with Wilmington. I move further away from Wake Country than I was and end up in a district dominated by Wake County. Roll Eyes

WATN: Sen. Hagan is joining a DC law firm. She obvious already ruled out running this year, but looks like she's done with elected office.

LaFleur probably runs if he doesn't get appointed Education Superintendent by JBE.

LA-Sen: Two more white Democrats, both hailing from the center of the state, are considering: three-term Alexandria Mayor Jacques Roy and State Rep. Robert Johnson (Avoyelles Parish).

Johnson ran in the crowded LA-05 special race a few years ago. He finished with just 10%, but got 63% in Avoyelles Parish.

NC-Sen: The AFL-CIO endorsed Ross. NC is the least unionized state in the country, but this could precipitate support from other similar state outfits and make Ross' path to the nomination that much clearer.

Far-right wing organization supports candidate, who has one of the most moderate voting record  (among Republicans, of course) at least on some issues (yes, yes, i know about Jones "specific" voting))))))))
