Alas, even a 100-seat pickup would be likelier than fluke 2008 winner Republican Congressman Joseph Cao leading a black state representative by 39%-36% among black voters in his hyper-Democrat black-majority New Orleans district.
Since when does ‘scandal free’ matter there ?
My comment #1 says it all: this poll sounds far too good to be true. But if there’s even a kernel of truth to it, November will be even better than we all have been hoping for.
Having lived down there 4 months late last year, I’m no longer sure that is a Black majority district, or at least that the margin is that high. Sure, they are still on the rolls. However, I don’t believe they are there any longer.

Even many blacks in Louisiana are likely getting sick of the thuggishness of the WH.
look up his voting record- health care bill and who knows what else.
He votes like your average Black Congressional Caucus member. Why change.
He voted for Obamacare the first time (casting his vote only after the Democrats had a majority), but then voted against Obamacare the second time around (claiming that he couldn’t support the bill without the anti-abortion language). I doubt that the moonbats will be supporting Cao.
As long as he keeps voting for a GOP speaker, he can do what he wants.
I’m sorry, but I cannot distinguish this RINO’s voting record from that of any other CommieCrate. Why should I care what happens to him?
He is dead to me, as far as being Republican in any meaningful sense of the concept.
You got that right. He has already proved what a traitor he is to America by voting with the libs.
“Since when does ‘scandal free’ matter there ?”
Actually, it does seem to matter to enough of these black voters - who helped vote out William Jefferson, Democrat-Louisiana. There is NO WAY that Cao would have ever had a chance had it not been for these black voters.
They are a reachable bunch, in my opinion. They know full-well how badly they’ve been SCREWED by the DEMOCRATS. It will be much harder (in fact, impossible) to reach gays and young married couples who could care less about ANYTHING beyond their next summer holiday.
Don’t try to put the boodgie woodgie on us. Getting rid of RINOS is part of what we are doing.

LOL. GROW UP!!! If we can hold a district carved out to be represented by a BLACK DEMOCRAT with a non-black pro-life person, then what the HELL is wrong with that.
I’d love a Conservative Republican DICTATORSHIP as much as you, but getting Cao to represent a black district in New Orleans is pretty damn good to me.
Incumbency does have its advantages, fortunately AND unfortunately, depending upon each individual circumstance.
Other than has nearly unforgivable vote on ObamaCare, I can give Cao an occasional pass for trying to survive in a district of Obamabots, much like with Scott Brown. I hope he wins re-election.
This could make for a very interesting November...
