I hope so. Going to go look for the fireworks....

Why I might even have to unscrew the red top on a bottle of clear liquid I have for special occasions.

LA was a Democratic state in those days. Fraud aside, a Republican couldn’t even be elected dogcatcher.

It took several years for things to really begin changing and Katrina accelerated the process by emptying out a lot of Democratic voters from New Orleans.

Next to AR, it was one of the very last Southern states to go GOP.

Typhoid Mary is bye bye, unless there is massive cheating

If its close, she will win.

That’s her only chance.

Back in the 70s when things began to percolate, the joke was the Louisiana GOP “could hold their convention in a phone booth.”

Not gonna be close this time. Cassidy will win this by 15% or more. Bank on it.

I had the WONDERFUL pleasure of pressing the button against BOTH Fail Mary and the embarrassing convicted felon Edwin Edwards (ugh!) who’s in the runoff for Cassidy’s old seat in CD-6.

Both him and Landrieu are headed for crushing defeats tonight.

That was a GREAT post!

In my district (LA 05), the saying is “Hold the Mayo!”

CNN was calling some races even before any results were posted

If their exit-polling data indicates a blow-out, the news orgs will often call a race immediately when the polls close. But they only do exit-polling for general elections, so they won't make a call tonight until they have some real results.

The Civil War... whites associated the GOP with the War Of Northern Aggression.

Republicans were as rare as a hen’s tooth in the South for a long time.

If you wanted to go into politics, you had to run as a Democrat and you could count on winning easily.

Mary Landrieu is the end of the line for the Southern tradition of voting Democrat.

Great music!!!!!

[fhayek]

So you don’t expect it to be called at 8:01 CST?

[goldstategop]

Let’s see what FOX NEWS says, if they will call it or sit on the result all night. :)
