Louisiana's primary vote for Governor is tomorrow.

[Conserv]

If no candidate receives an absolute majority of the vote during the primary election on October 12, 2019, a runoff election will be held on November 16, 2019, between the top two candidates in the primary.

[Conserv]

Some here think the current governor, dem John Bel Edwards, may not even make it out of the primary.

I hope all Louisiana Freepers intend to vote!!!!

[CondoleezzaProtege]

He seems to be one of the more bearable...only bearable Dems left from what I have been told.

[Robert DeLong]

Yep, got it on my calendar. Ralph Abraham.

[deport]

dem John Bel Edwards, may not even make it out of the primary.

*********

Edwards will make it into the runoff and may be the leader of the pack.

Explain why the two R are not just dividing the vote, please. Or are they both not R.

Looks like 5 candidates running for gov as pubbies:

Oscar “Omar” Dantzler (D)
~ Bail Bondsman, Bus Driver
Vinny Mendoza (D)
~ Farmer, Ex-Assistant USAF Inspector General
Ralph Abraham (R)
~ Congressman - District 5, Physician
Patrick Doguet (R)
Patrick “Live Wire” Landry (R)
~ Artist
Manuel Russell Leach (R)
Eddie Rispone (R)
~ Industrial Contractor
Gary Landrieu (I)
~ Building Contractor

That’s not good.

Explain why the two R are not just dividing the vote, please. Or are they both not R.
*************************************
This is a “Jungle primary”. The top two candidates will advance to the general election unless one candidate gets more than 50%. The name of the game now is to keep Edwards below 50%.

Mot unusual for Louisiana. Pretty easy to get on the ballot and helps build name recognition, Vinny Mendoza is a classic case.

[Meatspace]

Oscar “Omar” Dantzler (D)
~ Bail Bondsman, Bus Driver

No one could be more qualified to be a Louisiana Governor.

Louisiana has always had what you refer to as “jungle primary”. The Governors race has 6 candidates, 3 Rep. 2 Dems and 1 Independent. The LT Governor only an R and D. However, the Secretary of State has 3 R’s and 1 D. But, when you go to the Comm. of Agriculture 3 Dems and 2 R’s. Now the Commissioner of Insurance has just 2 candidates, both Republicans. My State Senate district election is really interesting. 3 R’s, 1 Dem and we have Libertarian running.
