Which proves Mary Landrieu can't win without New Orleans. Probably true of Blanco, as well.

Partly true for Blanco. She picked up a good many votes in the more ignorant rural parts of Northern LA, because they didn't want a "foreigner" (Jindal) for governor. She also did fairly well in SouthWest LA, where she is from.

That is true. The morning after the election, my brother in La. overheard some ladies at a store exclaiming how excited they were that Blanco had won over that foreigner. They actually believed that Jindal had recently immigrated. My brother politely explained that he had been born in B.R. and had more intelligence in his pinky than Blanco. Seems kind of prophetic now.
