12. What's disturbing about it?
Louisiana is part of the south, you expect a slightly greater degree of polarization among voters. Black voters have never had a black presidential candidate to vote for before, so it's not surprising he's winning big majorities. White voters in LA may figure Obama has the state pretty much wrapped up but want to keep Clinton in the running to see how things turn out, so they'll give her their vote.

'Disturbing' is people saying things like 'disturbing' as if to imply that predictable results were proof of some awful future lurking around the corner. You might as well draw the conclusion that Louisiana won't vote for McCain in the GE because huckabee won it today.
