Louisiana: Gov. Race Wrap-Up
Posted by DavidNYCEarlier this week, I mentioned that Louisiana native Ricky would be posting a wrap-up of the governor's race there over at his blog, Timshel. It's up now (well, it's been up for a few days), and it bears checking out. Most interesting observation: Blanco won several counties (they call `em parishes in LA) that Republican Suzie Terrell won in last year's Senate race. There are plenty of possible explanations for this: Blanco ran a better campaign than Landrieu, Blanco is more conservative, racists wouldn't turn out for Jindal (who is of Indian heritage), etc. The most optimistic interpretation is that LA is now trending back toward the Dems, and at least one local paper, as Ricky points out, thinks this is the case.
