Cao Is No Goner (Louisiana update)
The American Spectator ^ | October 21, 2010 | Quin Hillyer

Posted on 10/25/2010 6:34:25 PM PDT by Clintonfatigued

Here is the situation on the ground. Before the campaign really heated up, Cao actually led the polls by a wide margin, because his hard work and sincerity have made him very popular among all races and ethnicities in the New Orleans area. Once the campaign heated up and he was re-identified in the black community as a Republican, he dropped behind. But internal polls -- and my own anecdotal sources, as a native New Orleanian and veteran of New Orleans politics -- show him now within a typical survey's margin of error.

He also has momentum. National Democrats, thinking Cao a goner, have withdrawn campaign aid for Democratic opponent, state Rep. Cedric Richmond. But Richmond has a checkered past that the local media finally is starting to really focus on. Amidst other official ethics problems, Richmond lost his law license for lying in election qualifying papers in 2005. He's also under fire, or under investigation, for alleged financial shenanigans involving a non-profit with which he has been closely associated.

Though Cao has cast some bad votes, his record overall is pretty good. It would be a prize if he were to get reelected.

So, in other words, he's a model Democrat...

Like Christ Cao hopped in bed with Obama. His bi partisanship was over the top.

I’ll bet everything that you have no clue what Cao’s voting record actually is.
