5. thanks...

....the link they have on nola.com is not too informative as yet. This one is better.

[jfxgillis]

10. Well, crap. I'm actually disappointed. This win is too big

to mean that race wasn't a factor.

I was hoping for Blanco 52-48.

[eyeontheprize]

23. Bigotry in Louisiana is patriotic.

It is a strange turn of events indeed that it worked to our favor this time. You’re right that it is an empty victory in a way.

[darkstar]

55. Exactly

That's what I meant by mixed blessing in other thread. Jindal got his solid 22-24 % in North La in primary Blanco did very poorly there. Single digits. Hence, the *possibility* that there are *some* consevos who could not bring themselves to vote for him. And like you, hate to see the win come from that. My fear is this is the old silent majority speaking. Hell, she had fallen out of MOE week before last week, crept back in and things were fairly even late this week, nothing showing her beyond MOE like this.

Having said that, I think things may well tighten. Baton Rouge will likely be very tight. Some black vote siphoned off in N.O. from Mayor Nagin endorsement. And we're not sure what proportion of the rural vote thay are mentioning as being in is from Blanco's stronghold of SW LA

BTW, from N LA living in south, and not meaning to paint w/ too broad a brush up top; but after all it is conservative voters up north I'm talking about.

As I typed, tightening occured. 48% in, now 52/48 Blanco.

Home parish of Lafayette reporting. 56/44 in parish w/ 25% of parish in.

[Maddy McCall]

81. Ah, but what about SEX? Blanco is a WOMAN!

Gender vs. ethnicity makes for a very very very interesting election.

[eyeontheprize]

94. Race trumps sex.

The red necks sleep with white women, or are one. It's not perfect but a woman beats a .......

[darkstar]

103. Really good point.

I worked for antoher Dem candidate in open primary and the complexities of the race's dynamic--gender, religous right, race, N vs S, Catholicism (and abortion rights in Blanco's stronghold)--were incredibly throny.

Anyways, good insight.

13. What is the BESE? Where are districts 1, 2, and 6?

Districts 1 and 2 are not reporting anything yet, but district 6 has returns posting (although only about 60,000 votes in total). This could give us an idea of which precincts are reporting, and which ones aren't yet.

Anyone know?

[mndemocrat_29]

19. I think that District 6 is fairly Republican

Broussard is the Republican, Bel the Democrat.

District 1 has Republican Dastugue, Democrat Ferguson

District 2 has two Democrats.

[Ediacara]

31. so this means?

We could be getting early Republican leaning returns? Or am I stretching?

[ronzo]

21. Board of Elementary and Secondary Education

Important local races.

[Raenelle]

15. 1,270 precincts, Blanco 53%

[TacticalPeek]

20. Let's not write off ALL the South just yet.

With a fourth of the vote in, you'd think a wire service or somebody would call it by now.

Any LAan's got local tv with HQ talk?

[MoonRiver]

25. I'm loving this! I do wonder why LA is so different ?

The * machine just can't seem to get a solid foothold there.

[Maddy McCall]

37. It's not that different. See post 25

Mississippi is still strongly democratic on a statewide level (see post 25), and it seems to me that LA also went Republican last prez election.

[MoonRiver]

46. Just remembering Mary Landieu in '02 and how she saved our morale

so much, after the regular election nightmare. Does LA have any computerized voting machines, and are they thinking about getting them?

[Maddy McCall]

26. Who wrote off the south?

And when did that become your or DU's decision. Look, I am not going to start, and you shouldn't either, but just for your info,

Except for Gov and Lt. Gov in Mississippi, many of the other STatewide officials who were elected were Dems, AND we kept a majority Democratic legislature.

There's no reason to even consider writing off the south. Believe me, national candidates haven't.

[Maddy McCall]

30. dupe

edit: dupe

[TacticalPeek]

45. I share your sentiment totally.

But there have been a few threads lately . . .

[Maddy McCall]

75. by very ignorant people who haven't checked into voting patterns in MS

and who only repeat the dogma of other ignorant people.

Glad you share my sentiments! :hi:

[bleedingheart]

29. when 3/4 of the vote is in and she has a very comfortable lead

they will call it...

[Maddy McCall]

22. BESE = Board of Elementary and Secondary Education

Polly Broussard is the Repub in the Sixth District race which includes Amite and Hammond area--so the results are coming in from the south eastern part of the state now.

At least, that is how it appears.

49. Heavily D.

[Ediacara]

SWEET!

This is the case with most states, as the last returns to come in are from cities with high populations and older equipment. I was hoping this was normally the case in Louisiana as well.

SWEET!

If anybody's got a pointer, I'd appreciate it.

[darkstar]

85. Much tightening 51/49% w/ 69% in.

The conservos in N LA who couldn't vote for Jindal may win this for Blanco *if* she wins. As I said above, she was dropping out of the hunt, only got back into MOE this week and only had one poll I know of that showed her ahead, 51/49.

Much of Lafayette remains, but so does BR, NO, and Shreveport. I think that Shreveport may be the key. Large black vote and strong white conservo stronghold, both. Not very large--70% of state lives in bottom third--but it may be unexpected boon Blanco needs.

Keep 'em crossed. It ain't quite over, IMHO. I still nervous, at least.
