[Mind-numbed Robot]

Its her Cajun name that carried the day for her.

Blanco is just a front for her husband and his cronies who are of the Democrat machine of the Edwin Edwards era. They are old ward politics as usual and as such got all the other crooks, such as levee board members, police juries (ever heard of those?), and other local political entities to turn out the vote for her.

Let's finish the paragraph:

"...and the voters of Louisiana got exactly what they deserved!"

To he** with those bayou low-lifes. If it takes a decade to put the state back together, I submit, let the fault rest where it should.

NOT another dime out of my pocket!!!!

Blanco was an original Lafayette Parish supporter of J. Bennett Johnston, Jr., in his December 1971 Democratic primary runoff with Edwin Washington Edwards. Her ties, like those of Rep. Charles Melancon, go back to Johnston, not Edwards.
