"Minority Leader Pelosi will be the best thing that could happen to the GOP."

Well, I don't reckon anybody'll ever be quite as Good to the Right as Der SchleekMeister, but with Slick in Prison fer the remainder of his days on this planet, the Right must endeavor to persevere to plant other DemonRAT stooges in Slick's stead if we are going to accomplish our goal of eliminating Socialism/Communism/Lib'ralism/Fascism/Progressivism/Totalitarianism as viable political ideologies for the 21st Century and beyond.

"My hunch is the middle-of-the-roaders flocked to the Pubbies this time, and that group appears to be persistantly fickle."

Perhaps, although I believe what tipped it was a bunch of pissed-off folks who don't usually vote in midterm elections saying, "Enuff is ENUFF!!" and going to the polls and pulling the AnythingButDemonRAT lever!!

These voters ain't solid Pubbies, but they may never--EVER--vote fer another RAT!!

Morning bump.

[dittomom]

I will definately send Ms. Terrell a donation! Thanks for the thread. Landrieu MUST GO!!!

[Mudboy Slim]

Howdy sir...so when's the big Election RunOff and how can FReepers from accross the Country participate?!

FReegards...MUD

[CholeraJoe]

Apparently it's Saturday, December 7. Unless you're up for a road trip (I'm certainly not) the best way to help is to contribute and encourage LA FReepers to do what it takes to get Terrell elected.

Sounds like yer on to somethin' there. Seems the turnout was extraordinarily heavy in many parts of the country for a mid term elections. It may just be the Pubbies turned out in record numbers??? I'm going to spend some time over the next few days trying to find some answers just to satisfy my curiosity. Regardless, the results could be very informative for future elections...

SNELLINGS-LANDRIEU, REED
New mansions on the Hill set new grand high style

It’s taken nearly four years to custom-build a large brick mansion for Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) and her lawyer-builder husband, Frank Snellings, and their two young children, Connor and Mary Shannon.

But the Snellings-Landrieu home will be a Capitol Hill showplace, neighbors agree. In fact, it’s expected to become a kind of embassy for the state of Louisiana in the 400 block of East Capitol Street. It is now close to completion, though tight-lipped owner and project manager Snellings declined to comment about their ambitious architectural effort. (The family has lived in a rented row house nearby during the long construction process.)

New Landrieu-Snellings home

---

Its cost also remains a closely held number, although sources say it’s well over $1 million, in light of such delicate touches as hand-cut slates, copper roof work, stone lintels and much top-of-the-line custom carpentry. Snellings took over as contractor shortly after the walls started to rise, donning a hard hat and spending many hours at the site. He earned a reputation as an exacting boss who took great pains to perfect every aspect of the house. The designer is a New Orleans architect, David Waggoner.

The site, the last large close-in lot on the south side of the wide street, has only one drawback: lack of parking space. The family was able to circumvent city requirements that new houses include off-street parking by successfully filing an appeal for a variance with the Board of Zoning Adjustment.

So the Snellings-Landrieu family will have to rough it by parking on the street, although the senator’s workplace is within easy walking distance. She’s a member of the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee and chairs its District subcommittee.

Landrieu, who had a career in real estate before rising in Louisiana politics, won a bitterly contested election in the 1996 cycle, winning by less than 6,000 votes. She’s considered vulnerable in November. During the campaign she portrayed herself as a fighter for the middle-class and the working poor. But her concern for ordinary folks comes from on high: The couple has reported assets of $1.85 million (Landrieu) and $4.2 million (Snellings) according to public filings.

Landrieu’s Senate campaign received considerable support from building trades’ unions. Nevertheless, Snellings used non-union labor on the mansion.

From the bestofneworleans.com:

For her part, Landrieu has the support of a number of local Republicans, including Jefferson Parish President Tim Coulon.

What's with this "local" Pubbie???

One blessing of living in Lousiana is the joy of voting against Mary Landreau twice. I think it's looking positive to oust her. A nice thunderstorm in New Orleans would be nice.

Oust Landrieu bump

Get a load o' these numbers:

Race	Top vote-getting candidates	Amount Spent
Senate	Mary L. Landrieu (D)* John Cooksey (R) Suzanne Terrell (R) Tony Perkins (R) Ernest Skillman Jr (R) Patrick E. Landry (I) James Lemann (I) Gary D. Robbins (L) Raymond Brown (D)	$7,320,716  $1,606,629  $612,954  $358,352  $0  $0  $0  $0  $0

Susie Terrell could use a little help, eh?

Hey guys, the bleached blonde bayou bimbo has nothing on our Suzi. She will do much to erase the gender gap and get people to realize how barbaric abortion is. Please donate to the cause, she needs our help.

[jla]

Interesting...Landrieu had to spend $174,000 per one percentage of the vote & Terrell only $22,000.

If the Cooksey & Perkins voters come thru, along with out-of-state donations, I think Suzie Terrell can win.
(She's definitely a better money manager)

[ForGod'sSake]

Pretty strong stuff for a newbie without any bona fides. You haven't been around here long enough to see we are fairly tame with our derogatory remarks. Furthermore, truth be known, I expect Terrell will have all the help she needs and then some. The help she gets from Freepers will likely come out of a sense of participating in a worthy cause more than a sense of urgency. Cool it for a while, or your bimboesque descriptors will likely fall on deaf ears.

Typical Dim operation. The only way they've been able to win elections is to beg, borrow, steal, or buy votes. I'm thinkin' the price has gotten too high for them to carry on any longer. They ain't got enough dough!

Information from the La. Sec of State web site. Notice there's a very small window for absentee voting due to Thanksgiving; Nov. 25, 26, 27. The site was not precise about the 30th, but since it's a Saturday, I presume they will NOT accept absentee ballots after the 27th??? Additional info the military voting also...

Absentee Voting Opens for December 7th Election

The absentee voting process for the upcoming December 7th election begins on Monday, November 25th, and will close on Saturday, November 30th. Those persons who want to cast an absentee ballot in person should do so at their local registrar of voters office from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. Registrar's offices will be closed on Thursday the 28th and Friday the 29th for Thanksgiving holidays. Louisiana law provides for absentee voting by mail, and special provisions are in place for persons in the military. Voters who are physically unable to vote in person at the polls on election day and unable to vote in person at the registrar's office may be eligible for the Special Program for Physically Handicapped Voters. For information about all of these voting alternatives, visit the Department of Elections and Registration web site and select "Absentee Voting". Sample ballots will be available online prior to voting at our Sample Ballot Database.

Voting Information for U. S. Military Personnel

Secretary of State Fox McKeithen and the U. S. Department of Defense have teamed to provide U. S. military personnel with information about the 2002 elections schedule and absentee voting requirements. An informational recording at the Department of Defense Voting Information Center can be accessed by calling 1-800-438-8683 and then entering "52" -- the two number state code for Louisiana. The caller will then hear a recorded menu to select current elections information or hear recorded messages from candidates or their elected officials. McKeithen's message as Louisiana's Chief Elections Officer provides information on upcoming elections, online sample ballots, and how to obtain an absentee ballot. The Center is part of the Federal Voting Assistance Program enabled by the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA).

What's with this "local" Pubbie???

Beats me. I got a poster in the mail a few days from the Jefferson Parish President endorsing Mary Landrieu. Our local paper and the Alliance For Good Government also endorsed her. People's behavior down here has been mind-blowing.

Our local paper and the Alliance For Good Government also endorsed her. People's behavior down here has been mind-blowing.

Well, the local fishwrap endorsing a Dim is NO surprise. I can't find much on the "Alliance" outfit. Found some stuff in the Google cache that refers to a governwell.org that presumably established an internet presence in '98, but the site doesn't appear to have been maintained; little information, dead links, etc. I did find where the "Alliance" handed out some "Legislator of the Year" awards on several occasions, but not knowing the politics of the recipients it's difficult to determine the "Alliance's" politics. I suspect a right sounding, wrong headed outfit; but only a guess...

Can you ladies help???

[nospinzone]

I would just add the alliance also endorsed the two Republican congressmen David Vitter and Billy Tauzin and Irma Dixon, a Democratic challenger to New Orleans Democrat Congressman William Jefferson (again this state doesn't have party primaries so anyone of any party can run) so take that for what you will.

[No dems 2002]

We need to oust Senator Landrieu. I encourage Reps in LA to treat this race like it's pivotal to maintain control of the Senate, even though it isn't. (Also, the GOP can pick up another House seat, too).

Don't take anything for granted.

Get out the vote!
