Bush 48 - Kerry 42 in Louisiana

[Smash255]

It was probably the only southern state to buck the republican trend in 2002...re-electing a democrat to the senate...and putting the Ds in the statehouse.

such an odd state really.

Louisana is also the heaviest Democratic state (in terms of registered voters) and most Catholic state in the South.  Louisana Dems tend to vote Republican more than Dems in other states and Louisana Dems tend to be a bit more Conservative, but the registration advantage is still their and Bush's shift rightward could have turned off some of the Conservative Dems (the group of Dems who were the most likley to be behind Bush)  that feel he has gone too far to the right

i hate to sound llike a broken record....but perhaps you kerry supporters should pass along a one word message to the kerry campaign: OHIO.

forget these quixotic adventures in arkansas and louisiana.  kerry needs to set his priorities straight.

He is concentng on Ohio and has spent more money in Ohio than any other state, that doesn't mean he shouldn't try & go after WV, Arkansas or Louisana though especially when all the WV & AR polls show them close (and the latest WV in Kerry's favor) with LA getting closer
