He may be a crook, but he won by campaigning on traditional values. For whatever it is worth: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1748569/posts # In his latest ad, Jefferson is turning to social issues to motivate the churchgoing African-American community. He accuses Carter of supporting same-sex marriage, late-term abortions and cloning. He's running as a cultural conservative in an overwhelmingly Dem district. Full script: ANNCR: Karen Carter says there's a big difference between her and Congressman Jefferson. Especially when it comes to family values. Karen Carter voted for same-sex marriage. (on screen: picture of two women holding hands) Congressman Jefferson voted against it. Karen Carter voted for late-term abortions. Congressman Jefferson voted to stop late-term abortions altogether. Congressman Jefferson voted to make it illegal to clone a human being. But Karen Carter was the only member of the Louisiana House to vote against making human cloning a crime. Big difference?

So he can be as corrupt and dirty as the day is long, but as long as he is slightly less pro-abortion than the other candidate, you'd prefer him? Karen Carter is as corrupt as well. If you want to blame someone for this election, blame Alberto Gonzales for not indicting Jefferson before the election. If you were an inner city black, you would think he was being picked on, not that he did anything wrong.
