Louisiana Attorney General switching parties

[Miles]

Thought this would happen.


Only one statewide Democrat left.

Shes gone in 2014.

You'll be amazed at the value of the Landrieu name though. But if things don't get much better, she'll probably suffer the same fate as her friend Blanche Lincoln.

Its does worry me that she is the last statewide Dixiecrat left.

Brandon has a good point; Landrieu and Vitter were each very lucky in the timing of their elections.

After the next congressional elections, the U.S. House delegation will most likely be 5 R's and 1 D.

Are you sure, does New Orleans have enough people to keep its own district or will it have to expand a ways deep into GOP territory?

I've tried it on the redistricting app. At best, I could only get a New Orleans-based district to be 50% black, 41% white. To get a solid black district, you'd have to extend it to Baton Rouge.

I'm sure more minorities have come back to LA since 2008, but the population loss there has been very severe.
