Louisiana Run Off Elections Today!
Posted by Tim TagarisOne stop shopping for the last two 2004 Congressional races before we can focus our full attention on the 2005 & 2006 slate of elections.
LA-3: Charles Melancon (Dem.) v. Billy Tauzin III (Rep.) - In-depth Review HERE
LA-7: Willie Mount (Dem.) v. Charles Boustany (Rep.) - In-depth Review HERE
Get the results live as the votes are tabulated by the Louisiana Sec. of State: HERE
Funny Story: Did you know that Republican challenger Charles Boustany paid $50,000 to buy himself the title, "Lord Boustany?" The purchase was supposed to allow him access to Royal Family functions, hobnobbing with the Queen of England and Prince Charles.
One problem. It was a fraud. As a millionaire, you might let this go to save embarrassment, but not Boustany. He sued and now suit he filed is available to the public.
Disturbing Story: Did you know that "Little Billy" Tauzin III was arrested and sentenced to probation, in lieu of 6 months in prison, for a DWI? He has since had his share of legal problems that range from possession of a fur bearing animal without a license to trespassing. Both would seem to violate the conditions of his probation. Which begs the question, are Republican politicians pre-disposed to breaking the law?
