In a very ominous sign for Mary Landrieu, most of the voters when I voted were white with only a few blacks.
That is important as Landrieu only pulled 18% of the white vote on November 4th.
Another bad sign for Landrieu is the fact that the voting place was pretty well packed at 10:30 when I went.
There were probably about 100+ people in line. The voting went very fast, however, it took me about 40 minutes to vote.
There are only 5 of the 8 days to vote in the early voting for December 6th. The early voting places are closed on Sunday, November 23rd, Thanksgiving day, and the day after Thanksgiving (Black Friday). Additionally, there is only one place in each Parish (Louisiana's version of a county) to vote.
The NRA are running an effective TV ad (Louisiana is very found of hunting and guns). Additionally, besides the National Republican Committee running ads as well as Cassidy's campaign, there are two other groups running TV ads. THESE ADS HAVE RECENTLY CHANGED, BRINGING A SET OF BRAND NEW TV ADS TO THE CAMPAIGN JUST BEFORE EARLY VOTING BEGAN.
Probably, besides capturing most of the black vote, I imagine Mary Landrieu can count on the drugee's and tree hugging environmentalists for votes.
Thanks, this may well turn into a blowout.
