Not one more cent to New Orleans.
For your edification, LA-02 is the majority black district in Louisiana. It combines the poorest areas of Jefferson Parish and Orleans.
Karen Carter was a horrendous candidate. She supported gay marriage, late term abortions, Hillary's healthcare plan and economically was to the left of Stalin.
As it stands now, Carter is winning in Orleans Parish by a vote of 52-48. However she is getting trounced in Jefferson Parish (which is actually 50-50 white-black) 73-27.
I live in uptown New Orleans. I voted for Bill Jefferson today for several reasons. Pelosi would have welcomed Carter with open arms. It would have been one more vote for the far left socilaist agenda.
Jefferson being indicted in office will be a great boon to the GOP. And I am not the only conservative who thinks so.
Furthermore, I love denying the white liberals in this city any power whatsoever.
