There is a very active Republican Party in Louisiana. The problem here is that Louisiana still has an open primary system. If you can get 50% +1 on election day, you win. If not, then the top two finishers, regardless of party.
Don't forget that the majority of our House delegation is Republican, as well as our junior Senator. He may be the senior Senator after Landrieu runs for re-election; the reason she is in office is her strong showing among black New Orleanians.

Can they draft Brett Favre after he retires?
