It was in the aftermath of Hurricane Gustav and the turnout was very very low.

Jefferson was still on the Dem ticket after being indicted and many voters were still sucking down the free stuff in Baton Rouge or elsewhere and did not vote. Cao is goner next election so he was desperate to get good press from the Leftist rags in NO area , he sold himself out for money he will never see . The Soviet term USEFUL IDIOT comes to mind.

...dont understand how he got elected.....

Jefferson was headed to jail and the demoralized Dems didnt run a good candidate. They will in 2010 and probably take the seat back.
