LA and NC 2016 Congressional Races

[publicunofficial]

NC-Sen: Schumer wants Hagan to run, but she hasn't yet decided when she'll decide.

LOL Schumer. Anyway, why should she run? Hagan (and other Democrats like Sestak) apparently hope to benefit from Hillary's coattails, but if Hillary loses the state (which is very likely), Hagan is toast. This race is "Leans Republican". Burr is heavily favored even if Hillary wins the state by 1 point.

True, if you look back at the last Presidential election, no Democrat won a Senate race in a state Obama lost.

Trump has endorsed Renee Ellmers right before her primary on Tuesday in his first Congressional endorsement. Does this help or hurt Renee? Or does it not make any difference at all?

Also, who do you think will win the CD2 nomination for Republicans? I think Holding wins

I think it helps Ellmers, but it's too little too late. Likely Holding.

I don't know, since turnout is only expected to be like 5 or 6 percent, it might swing he election.

For the record, Trump didn't even win NC-02 in the primary. Cruz did.

LA-1: Duke is strongly leaning towards a run.

David Duke's campaigns, while horrifying and terrible, are at least useful for gauging what percentage of Louisiana voters are massive racists. I've always wondered which CD he would do best in, nationwide.

Officially endorsing Caroline Fayard.

I couldn't handle the suspense.

Wulfric announcing his endorsements as if they will actually swing people's votes is one of the most annoying things he does.
