What’s most interesting about this is that Landrieu’s efforts to turn out black voters was largely successful. She also made some inroads in the New Orleans suburbs in the runoff. But she got skunked in the rest of the state. Most damaging of all to her was that she lost the Cajun-populated, heavily Catholic voters in the southern end of the state, in spite of her French name and being Catholic. Louisiana Republicans would be well-advised to recruit candidates with French surnames in future elections.
Yes. Louisiana has a large Catholic population and is pro-life. Consequently, Landrieu pretended to be pro-life and pro-family, but when it came right down to it, she never missed an opportunity to vote for death.
I think that was what finished her off.
Yeah I tell you I hate those LA runoffs, state rats know what they are doing there, thank goodness it wasn’t nearly close enough to steal.
Before he pissed me off by backing a democrat redistricting plan that could have created a 2nd Black rat seat, I was of the mind that Boustany was the best choice to face ML. ‘
Clearly though Canjun country has completely turned on the rats. I don’t know if John Breuax could carry it now.
It doesn’t shock me that Cajun Catholics voted against a Senator that was bribed to pass Obamacare and voted against her pro-life position on paper.
