Louisiana Secretary of State ^

Notice the article conveniently leaves out Jenkins won LA by 100,000 votes outside Orleans Parish in 1996, and was the victim of mass-scale voter fraud thanks to the crooked Marc Morial and his cronies.

F**k. Stolen again. Another footsoldier for Pelosi.

Look for added pressure on our SecState, Jay Dardenne, to run for the seat. I suspect the RINOs in BR wanted to boot Jenkins so he could run.

a look at 6th district race

[mojo114]

I just heard on Geraldo on Fox that the Republican won that seat. What is up?

[fieldmarshaldj]

That’s “1” lost on Jindal’s watch. Not a good start.

[TornadoAlley3]

Jindal’s seat, 1st district. Scalise...good guy.

[fieldmarshaldj]

He might be talking about the 1st.

Republicans are going to be back down to 1970s and 1980s era levels after the November election. They move farther and farther to the left and get rewarded for it. Nice going, American voters. Now when taxes go sky high, more freedoms are lost, and we face more serious threats from terrorists, I suppose people will still blame Bush. Even long after he is gone.

So LA has now elected another “conservative” Democrat who will be loyal to Pelosi and the far left but get away with it.

I hope they run someone else in November. Jenkins is a multiple loser who needs to give it up I think. I think it is going to be damn near impossible to beat most Demo incumbents this year. Especially one who pretends to be “moderate.”

Woody Jenkins is the guy who got screwed when he “lost” a Senate race to Miss Mary Landrieu, and the GOP would not insist on a revote. For some reason he remains a Republican. Guess the only thing worse is the alternative party.

Looks like it's over. Rat in with under 50. Thanks a lot Ashley you stupid (censoring) (censored). Of course a faux conservative rat winning with under 50 with a conservative idiot (censored) independent will be trumpeted as a major victory for marxism leninism obamism. And thank you Baker for quiting early to make money. Did I mention I hate rats with cajun names? Look at me I'm a cajun gold ole' boy!!

Baring a huge turnaround it looks like it could be another 20+ seats lost Why are people so brain dead? Marxism will lower your gas prices? No.

[TornadoAlley3]

Jindal spent too much time campaigning for Scalise, who did not need it as much as the 6th district.

[Galactic Overlord-In-Chief]

Now he got screwed by the RINO establishment in Baton Rouge. They just couldn’t put up with a “religious right” figure. Jenkins busted his rump to provide conservatives with an alternative to the Dem establishment. He ran against Senators Russell Long and J. Bennett Johnston and held down their margins. He should be Senator today.

He didn’t deserve to be treated like this.

[Galactic Overlord-In-Chief]

Scalise didn’t need it period! He was not going to lose! I just have to ask, Dude, Where’s My Party? Did they all just give up on Woody?

[EDINVA]

is there a runoff since neither got 50% + 1 ?

[Galactic Overlord-In-Chief]

No. Runoffs are for the closed party primaries in federal elections or the open primaries in state elections. This was the final deal until November.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Jenkins has endured an incredible level of crap. He was owed this office at the VERY least for his years of toil.

[fieldmarshaldj]

The irony is that this was one of only a couple seats we picked up in the horrific Watergate year of 1974.

[darkangel82]

Crap. We can’t even win in the South anymore? Are we losing MS-1 too?
