I would think places like Shreveport, Lafayette, etc would make more sense than NO, whose voters are reliably blue. It seems he could have a bigger impact in other cities.

Oddly, Orleans Parish is now smaller in population than East Baton Rouge Parish. Both are strongholds of the popular Mrs. Bill.

did I miss something? Didn’t we vote already? Or is this in preparation for four years from now? I don’t know that’s why I’m asking.

That is where you are wrong

losing by 50 points or 20 points is the difference of winning or losing in these “blue” areas

That is how Hillary lost, why follow that flawed design?

Shreveport voted heavily for Obama and Mr. and Mrs. Bill too.

The New Orleans suburban area of Jefferson and St. Tammany parishes are heavily populated.

Yes this is for the close Senator race in LA.

Right now there do not seem to be that many in attendance. I hope this improves.

Trying to add another GOP senator in the election slated for next Saturday.
BTW, it’s interesting that the GOP candidate’s name is John Kennedy!

Louisiana is a bit different from the rest of the country: a winning candidate must have a majority of the votes, rather than a plurality.

So, if multiple candidates split the vote, they have a runoff election. That's what is happening next week.

GOP will retain the Senate seat.

LA went big for Trump on November 8.

In 2008, the runoff election was for U.S. Representative - and the usual New Orleans voters were so busy celebrating Obama's victory that they forgot to turn out for (then-indicted) Rep. William "Cold Cash" Jefferson. Surprise, a Vietnamese-American attorney won!

He was almost as big a disappointment as the usual suspects - but it sure was funny watching the black democrats in New Orleans get all indignant about losing "their" House seat.

Maybe they’ll be too depressed or confused to vote for Campbell...

“GOP will retain the Senate seat.”

But the race will still be a test of GOP resolve. If the Dems were to take this it would show them already bouncing back. Paul Coverdell won in Georgia within a month of the state going for Clinton in 1992. It was a foretaste of what was to come in 1994.
