LA-02 runoff predictions thread

[Ebowed]

Jefferson is useless; the Democrats should refuse to allow him to caucus with them.

[Bleeding heart conservative, HTMLdon]

But like the rest of the south, they value corruption over competance.

Really?

I'm trying to figure out which is more amusing:  Jefferson winning or fernie's comments on this thread about the South.

Well there's nothing amusing about a corrupt congressman being reelected so that only leaves one option.

You've gotta be kidding me that these people are stupid enough to reelect someone who was taped accepting a $100,000 bribe.

And yet Murtha is totally awesome like for real!

It would be comparable if Menendez had actually been taped accepting bribes, and if Menendez could be voted out without flipping control of the Senate to Republicans, and if Menendez was running against someone who wasn't a braindead fu'cking idiotic piece of human gabage who I'd laugh if he got hit by a bus (same applies to Jefferson to of course)

Precinct-by-precinct results for this race from LA SOS.  They don't help me much, because I don't know where the precincts are, actually.

All of the outstanding precincts are in Orleans Parish and right now Carter is leading in that parish slightly.  But she got absolutely killed in Jefferson Parish, pretty ugly all told.

I don't know where they are either, but a membership does give how they voted in 2004. Most of Ward 4 in Orleans is Republican, Bush won every precinct from 9 on up. But it appears that none of htose are in the District (probably are in District 1)

At a first glance, it appears Carter did best in what I'm guessing are mostly white Democratic areas (the type of places that voted "only" 70% for Kerry instead of >90%), which is hardly suprising. It also looks like the Republican precincts might not be in the district, in which case it'll be tough to see how Republicans voted.

From a quick glance, it appears this was mostly just really polarized racial voting. Blacks voted Jefferson, whites voted Carter. That pretty much sums it up.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

The racial split is pretty obvious, although whiter areas seem to have gone stronger for Carter than blacker areas for Jefferson.

Welcome to the world you have created, Democrats.

Ahem excuse me?  That must be the most irrational/stupidest thing you have ever said, and believe me there are a lot of contenders for it.

You think an entire race of people voting 95% for one party is healthy?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Has it ever occured to you quite why that might be, Donald?

[Keystone Phil]

Because they are used to getting disappointed and taken advantage of by that party, Albert/Alfred?   

[minionofmidas]

Is there anyone better?

How about Nagin?

Why the smilie? Nagin would have won this.

I know; I wasn't having a go at Nagin there.
