howdy y'all

quick lesson on LA politics:

Everyone knows how Bubba and Tyrone vote

Cajuns are the determining factor.

bye.

Yes sir. But being down in South Louisiana a couple of years ago the cajun identity is not as strong as it was in the days of good ole' Edwin W. Edwards. That being said they are a very unpredictable group. If it's a decisive election one way or another then they generally go with the flow, however in close elections they are anyone's guess. They were fairly even in the senate race, slightly favoring Landrieu (who is not Cajun, she's Creole. I'm half Cajun). Melancon (who is Cajun) would have a decent chance, if only because he is Cajun, moderate-conservative, and a strong campaigner. However he should stay in the house if only not to leave the Democrats without any seats, though it's likely they'll win back the second.
