Polls have closed in Louisiana. The big interest is in the sixth congressional district, where Democrats think they can snatch an open seat.

[Not now, Not ever!]

So, Who is the “R” and who is the “D”?

[kms61]

I saw posted on another board where someone went to vote, and said they were the only voter.

[Galactic Overlord-In-Chief]

Jenkins is the R, Cazayoux is the D.

[Onelifetogive]

Cazayoux is the D.

I think I could have guessed this one...

It looks as if Cazayoux is going to have to close this gap entirely from East Baton Rouge Parish. Almost all the other parishes are in.

only two precincts left to report in Jenkins’ home parish. Almost all the outstanding precincts are in East Baton Rouge. Look for things to tighten up considerably as they come in.

Keep reporting - looks like Woody is holding in there ...

Not looking good with all those EBR precincts remaining.

[Galactic Overlord-In-Chief]

Yeah, but we don’t know where there’s all at. EBR has city, suburban, and rural precincts.

Jenkins has now pulled ahead in EBR. His lead is widening.

[austinrepub]

Good point. He does currently have a slim lead in the parish. With EBR precincts and just one from Livingston remaining, this will be tight.

[Space Dawg]

This one is not even close. It fills Jindal’s spot.

[Galactic Overlord-In-Chief]

Yep, my district. :)

[fieldmarshaldj]

Won’t the Jenkins-Cazayoux go to a 2-man runoff if either fail to get to 50% ?

[Galactic Overlord-In-Chief]

Nope. That’s only for the party primaries. We changed to closed party primaries for federal elections. Tonight’s for the brass ring until November.

[fieldmarshaldj]

OK. So far, it looks like the votes aren’t matching the polling data we’ve been seeing lately for that contest (thankfully).

[Galactic Overlord-In-Chief]

We had a strong storm system blow through here this morning, so it may have surpressed turnout. That, and the black Democrat who lost the primary has sent out a whisper campaign for black voters to stay home because he plans to run again in November.

[Galactic Overlord-In-Chief]

Not good...

[fieldmarshaldj]

I was noticing that at least 2 of the other candidates running are either Conservative or Republican (Hayes & Casey), always troublesome for us when we don’t have a completely unified field on our side. Casey alone (a former Buddy Roemer and Susan Molinari employee) could keep Jenkins from victory.

[Galactic Overlord-In-Chief]

Now he’s back up...

Crap. If we do lose this, Miss Casey will be the reason here with her 4%.

Moment of truth/LA GOP

[Galactic Overlord-In-Chief]

No question. Who in this race is more conservative than Woody? She’s just a RINO magnet.

[fieldmarshaldj]

It’s like the 1974 contest for this seat all over again.

[Galactic Overlord-In-Chief]

We lost.

508 of 512 precincts reporting

I hope the RINOS in Baton Rouge are real happy.

[TornadoAlley3]

another election in November, LA GOP needs another candidate.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Notice the article conveniently leaves out Jenkins won LA by 100,000 votes outside Orleans Parish in 1996, and was the victim of mass-scale voter fraud thanks to the crooked Marc Morial and his cronies.

[fieldmarshaldj]

F**k. Stolen again. Another footsoldier for Pelosi.

[TornadoAlley3]

[Galactic Overlord-In-Chief]

Look for added pressure on our SecState, Jay Dardenne, to run for the seat. I suspect the RINOs in BR wanted to boot Jenkins so he could run.

a look at 6th district race

[mojo114]

I just heard on Geraldo on Fox that the Republican won that seat. What is up?

[fieldmarshaldj]

That’s “1” lost on Jindal’s watch. Not a good start.

[TornadoAlley3]

Jindal’s seat, 1st district. Scalise...good guy.

[fieldmarshaldj]

He might be talking about the 1st.

[TNCMAXQ]

Republicans are going to be back down to 1970s and 1980s era levels after the November election. They move farther and farther to the left and get rewarded for it. Nice going, American voters. Now when taxes go sky high, more freedoms are lost, and we face more serious threats from terrorists, I suppose people will still blame Bush. Even long after he is gone.

So LA has now elected another “conservative” Democrat who will be loyal to Pelosi and the far left but get away with it.

I hope they run someone else in November. Jenkins is a multiple loser who needs to give it up I think. I think it is going to be damn near impossible to beat most Demo incumbents this year. Especially one who pretends to be “moderate.”
