Pretty much the same through out the South at this point.

Ya know Joe those lap puppies of yours sure look like they are abused.
Beautiful dogs and they sure look healthy and happy in those photos.
You get many folks breaking in to your home trying to steal their supper dishes?

Most potential intruders tend to trip and stumble over the chewed up cattle skeletons in the yard before they ever make it to the manor :-)

I am shocked at this. If the Democrats aren’t running candidates for office, they are throwing in the towel before a campaign gets underway.

I wonder though, if the image of Democrats is behind this. Do many people think that the Democrats are the party of gays, feminists, racial minorities, environmental extremists, etc?????

If so, 2012 could really be a blood bath for the Democrats, from Obama at the top of the ticket down to local races for state legislatures and mayors of small towns. If one of our two major parties becomes so identified as the party of extremists, kooks, crackpots, bizarre lifestyles, etc., that party will not be able to elect many people to office.

When I registered Republican in 1975 at my Parish Courthouse, I was told I was the 3rd person in that Parishes history to do so.

Eliminating welfare would cause an exodus of the Welfare Class and make LA conservative for generations.

IIRC, I registered GOP in 1979 either right before or right after Treen was elected Gov. And FWIW, I’m voting for and supporting Cao for Atty General. He said on a radio interview yesterday one of his goals was local government public corruption.

We’ve been fighting for a year to get the thieving mayor of Jonesboro indicted, but can’t get Caldwell to lift a finger. The local DA and the mayor are in each others’ pocket, so that too is a a problem.

No, we got our wake up call with Katrina.

"Looks like Louisiana is the smartest state in the union."

IMHO, the current strength of the Republican Party in LA is centered primarily on two things...first was the Blanco/Nagin ineptitude during Katrina, and more immediately the virtual moratorium on drilling.

The porcine Mary Landrieu is safe for a few more years (2014), but if the dynamic continues, I'd imagine she needs to start thinking about alternate career plans as well.

LOL. My you can pack a lot into three short words. Same idea flashed through my mind, but I couldn’t beat three words.

How long before the sleaze and corruption emerge?

I’m also rooting for Cao.

Charm wit and levity
will win you in the start,
but in the end it’s brevity
that keeps the public’s heart...

The out-migration of about 100K welfare voters during the Katrina evacuation didn't hurt either.

True enough, but I view that as a byproduct or spinoff of Blanco/Nagin’s ineptitude. I’m sure they’d have kept those voters in place had they been able to.
