Jim Donelon is GOP. He ran for US Senate in 1998 against John Breaux.

Thanks. After I thought about it a while I though you may mean in the next election.
Doesn’t Maness lived in the 1st CD, I’m not sure.

Yeah, he’s in the first, but I doubt he would challenge Steve Scalise. Now that he has some name recognition, and campaigning experience, he might try for Senator Vitters’ seat when he becomes Governor.

I was tired when I posted last night and got districts mixed up. Donolon is a Republican but he is considered a sort of dubious one and has made his rep beating up insurance companies which wins few friends among the Chamber of Commerce and the Louisiana Business and Industry Council. If Maness could be euchred into running against Donolon in the primary and knock JD out then two birds would be knocked down with one stone. JD’s career would be pretty much ended and Maness would be rusticated to an important state wide office but one that removes one that the GOP believes the incumbent should be mostly seen and not heard from thus stagnating the career of a figure who could be a threat to the regular establishment GOP, of which Cassidy is a member in good standing.
What is none about Abraham who succeeded the Kissin’ Congressman.
To: robowombat
I have met Abraham twice. Once at a candidate forum and once he came by and visited our morning coffee group.
FWIW, I was impressed.
Also, I’ve talked to two drug salesmen types who called on him regularly. Both said WYSIWIG.
Intelligent, driven, type A personality, plain spoken.
At his age, it is obvious he’s not in it to start a career and become a professional politician.
I’m very optimistic.

This is what I found...I live in the 6th CD, so there wasn't much heard out of the 5th. I heard his interview on the Moon Griffon radio show, but that's about it.
I knew Mayo was going to a run off, but I was pulling for Zach Dasher.

I had hoped for a larger victory. 56% is a very comfortable majority, so that’s a minor complaint.

I thought we were on our way to a 19 or 20-point victory here, but a sizable number of metro N.O.-area Republicans who have voted for her in the past because she brings home the bacon/doles out favors/hurricane relief/basically acts as their equivalent of Senator Pothole, didn't abandon her for the runoff. You can read about Landrieu's gravy train here:
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/in-tough-senate-race-pork-couldnt-buy-landrieu-victory/article/2557070
You can tell in some of the metro N.O. results why the race tightened up a bit. My home of Jefferson Parish, the big suburban parish west of N.O., only gave Cassidy a 53%-47% win. Typically, we top out over 60% for a Republican candidate that's winning statewide. Previously, we had given Woody Jenkins 57% in 1996 and Suzie Terrell 55% in 2002, so we had definite crossover voting happening this time around for Cassidy to be that weak. Landrieu also won (to my surprise) St. Bernard Parish south of New Orleans, but since Hurricane Katrina rolled over it, I suppose I can't be too surprised that they viewed Landrieu as a hurricane-relief pipeline and didn't want to cut the cord. Cassidy did carry St. Charles Parish (a mix of suburbs and swampland) to the west of Jeff. and Plaquemines Parish west of St. Bernard Parish, but Landrieu still broke 40% in each. Even Landrieu's 28 percent in St. Tammany Parish (north of Lake Pontchartrain and super-Republican) is a marked improvement over Obama's 23 percent in 2012).
Ultimately it didn't save her because Landrieu cratered so badly in the Lake Charles area, much of Cajun country, the Baton Rouge suburbs, and in many north LA parishes. Once you get outside the New Orleans media market, she was persona non grata, except maybe for Baton Rouge, Shreveport, and the few parishes that have sizable black populations.
Of course with no incumbent Democratic senator in office now, the typical Republican vote in metro N.O. should snap back whenever we have a senatorial election.

Yes, it is. Edwin Edwards is the ex-Governor and convicted felon.
He ran for Congress since as a CONVICTED FELON he could not run for a state office...

Mary Landrieu had folks going door to door.
I had a visit from one of them the night before the election.
She tried to combat that Mary was pro-abortion by the fact that Mary adopted children.
The logic being: it is okay to KILL BABIES if you adopt babies.
I kept saying (outside) in a louder and louder voice so my neighbors would hear:
"Mary is a baby killer. Mary is a baby killer."
She realized it was a mistake to continue the conversation.

I guess brother Mitch Landrieu is in trouble with sis Mary for not MANUFACTURING MORE DEAD VOTES and having people vote multiple times.
Just need to toss Mitch as Mayor of New Orleans.
If that is done, some skeletons might be uncovered about New Orleans regarding Moon and Mitch, and maybe some illegal voting for Mary (in this election and previous elections).

That just goes to show that many of those that desire public elected office are exactly the ones that should not get it.
It might be better if we instead drafted Representatives randomly, like Jury Duty.
