Looks like Louisiana is the smartest state in the union

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.

No statewide Dems in Louisiana? I guess the old Edwin Edwards adage no longer applies that the only way for a Dem to lose reelection in Louisiana is to get caught with a dead woman or live boy in his bed.

In its broadest strokes, though, what has happened in Louisiana is what has happened across the South and especially the Deep South. Emory University's Merle Black, a leading scholar of Southern politics, notes that Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La, the only remaining statewide-elected Democrat in Louisiana, is also the last Democrat in the Senate from a Deep South state, which now sends but a single white Democrat -- Rep. John Barrow of Georgia -- to the House. That is amazing!
But the DNC seems not to care.

It sure did happen fast. When my daughter entered Tulane in the Fall of ‘00, the College Repubs were pushing her to register and vote there rather than in VA, the contest was considered so close. We were visiting LA when Mary Landrieu defeated Suzanne Haik Terrell and Blanco beat Jindal. How things have changed!
