Air Kiss!!!
Not sure where you are, but my sister called me from NO and told me they had, as she put it, woodstock type hippies at Lee Circle protesting the election and holding up signs saying Bush is not my president.
She and a friend kept circling around yelling 4 more years and Bush wins. Said they were &%#*# off.
Can the Boustany Campaign make enough inroads into the combined Democrat group to pull this out? I hope so and it may also be that the Cravins / Mount groups may have antagonized each other enough so that Cravins / Carriere supporters won't cross over in sufficient numbers to give the win to Mount......

Boustany, the Catholic from Acadiana, will beat Mount, the Protestant from Lake Charles. That's the way it has always been in the 7th CD. But I certainly encourage FReepers to help Boustany out to make sure he gets his message out.
In the 3rd CD, I have to assume that Tauzin's son will be endorsed by Romero and that would be that. It's a shame that Romero barely missed out on making the run-off; a run-off between two Republicans in what used to be a Democrat stronghold would have been great.
