9. Thank You! I'm so darn happy right now!

I hope the first thing Kathleen does when she moves into the Governor's Mansion is to clean the whole thing with Lysol to remove the stench of Foster! This man has literally had my skin crawling every time I heard him! It will be so nice to have someone dignified representing our state!

8. I'm curious. What did the last poll say?

This is good news.

[Jacobin]

35. Last poll I saw had Jindal ahead by 4 points with a "3 point margin"

of error.

GREAT day in Louisiana and for the country. Those who are associating themselves with Smirky are getting tossed out.

27. WOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!

:bounce:

[dusty64]

28. I awoke to this news and

am honestly VERY pleasantly surprised. It looks like a HUGE backlash against incumbents is coming and hopefully the Democrats will take advantage of it. With a good positive agenda and lots of explaination of the truth of what rethugs are up to next Election Day may be such a great day diebold may not even be able to help them.

[Bundbuster]

29. Yeah baby! Let's hope for a trend

I consider this an upset, at least according to recent polls. Congrats to Louisiana and Dems everywhere! Keep hope alive!

30. Hmmmm...Victory tastes good.

Did any of you see how the Freepers reacted to their loss last night? They went ape shit over it saying that Dems were committing vote fraud and other such crap.

[retyred]

31. Does anyone know

if they used touch screen voting machines or not? Just wondering.

Way to go Kathleen!!!!!!!!!!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

34. Not just congrats to Kathleen but THANKYOU LOUISIANA!!!!

:toast: A ray of hope in an otherwise dark season.

[Jacobin]

36. Important lessons here.

Last thing I got in the mail was a big full color foldout of pics of Jindal and Smirky together.

"Babineaux" of course is a French name.

People are kinda smirking around here themselves about the "French were Right" in Iragnam.


The worm is turning.

This is a vote against the Smirk, a la Landrieu victory.

I hope other states remember this and follow suit.

[Dr Fate]

37. But-but -but...Bush/media says it is "hopeless" for DEMS in the South!!!

Even some DUers swear to this as well- OMG- this must be fake info- Bush/media NEVER gets it wrong!!!!

I DEMAND A RECOUNT!!!! This HAS to be wrong, for Bush/media says DEMS cant win in the South, and they NEVER LIE!!!!

[kayleybeth]

38. What a great weekend!

Saints won, Tigers won and Louisiana is now a blue state. I'm so happy :) :) :)

39. NY Times coverage of the election

Did anyone else notice how the NY Times covered the election? When Republicans Schwarzenegger, Barbour and Fletcher won their races, there were large articles with huge headlines splashed across the top of the NY Times website ("GOP Triumph in California" etc). Governor-elect Blanco, on the other hand, is covered in a small story way down at the bottom of the page. Damn that liberal media! </sarcasm>

[ScreamingMeemie]

40. Kick

[ronzo]

41. Recent Gubernatorial turnout

2003 50.7% (Blanco d Jindal)
1999 48.8% (Foster re-elect, no-runoff)
1995 65% (Foster d Cleo Fields)
1991 77% (Edwards d Duke)

[kayleybeth]

42. How many

of my fellow Louisianians have a monstrous hangover today?

[ronzo]

43. Have a touch of the cocktail flu, myself.

I'll take a celebratory hangover, though.

ungh.

44. Beats the other kind
