Those are some startlingly good numbers for Landrieu in the runoff. Could she work a miracle yet again?
...the numbers are contingent on the December electorate being the same as this Tuesday's. And it obviously won't be.
Should we really be that dismissive though? Underestimating minority turnout in 2012 didn't turn out to be such a wise decision..
...which didn't include runoffs so talk about a completely pointless post.
In 2002, minority turnout didn't drop out during the run off Phil.
I find that somewhat hard to believe and even if true, it's far more of an exception to the rule than the rule.
It's true. In 2002, minority turnout actually
increased during the runoff. I don't think Louisiana can be lumped in with Georgia in this case.
