Title: Re: Reaction to this LA 2019 runoff map Post by: Some of My Best Friends Are Gay on May 19, 2019, 10:42:06 AM Looks like a victory for JBE.
My reaction would be that I don't care, because Bel Edwards might as well be a Republican.

Let’s be honest—that was going to pass with or without his signature. He made the right calculus in throwing a big red meat issue to his conservative constituency in a high profile way, kinda like how Manchin shot the ACA in his 2010 was the right call. He’s pretty much a standard Dem on non-social issues Even then, he's been pretty good on LGBT issues so it's not as if he's uniformly socially conservative. Abortion seems to be the only thing he's conservative on, and a lot of Louisiana Democratic politicians are.

Nobody actually did. Title: Re: Reaction to this LA 2019 runoff map Post by: smoltchanov on May 19, 2019, 11:43:03 PM Looks like a victory for JBE.

It's Louisiana, after all, not Vermont. If some fools fail to understand the difference - that's their problem, not JBE's.... Title: Re: Reaction to this LA 2019 runoff map Post by: Badger on May 20, 2019, 06:09:49 PM This is Louisiana, not Vermont. Edwards is almost as good as any Democrat in the governor's office can be, and still oodles better than any Republican, not only on economic and education issues, which is really really really important at the state level, but also in terms of lgbtq protections, minority voting rights, and not putting the Christian right in charge of educational curriculum

He can force a second VRA district. But alas see Larry Hogans landslide win but failure to have any coattails. Advantage for JBE is that it is an off year election .

Title: Re: Reaction to this LA 2019 runoff map Post by: Woody on November 17, 2019, 04:58:27 AM Damn, missed like 5 parishes. Still a beast prediction, not that far-off the real results, 8 months before the election.
