It could be Edwards will eke out a narrow win. Sucks to have to retract my call.

Rispone lost the lead when Orleans dumped its votes.

Tough to beat an incumbent.

Anyone else wondering if, instead of padding the votes, the uniparty has found a way to take them away...

Seems to me that latter scenario would be far harder to catch.

I guess a lot of GOP primary voters soured on Rispone,

But it would just be a guess.

We need to go back to paper ballots.

And I, for one, would have no problem signing my ballot.

Some rural Trump parishes went for Edwards. Damn!

The areas who went for Bobby Jindal are turning out for Edwards.

They like their Dem Governor enough to give him a second term.

Now I’m really smelling a ‘Rat...

If something hinky is going on, bet it involves subtraction rather than addition. Which would explain KY, too, BTW...

Correct. Expect the same tactics plus more sophisticated ones in 2020.

Same thing as in KY. GOP winning down ballot races, Dem keeps Governor’s mansion.

How does a guy blow a 30 point lead in an hour?

This is the same way it happened in Kentucky, at about the same time.

Look at it this way. If the uniparty pulled something in KY and it worked, why not pull it again in LA? Could very well be a test run for 2020. It would have 2 benefits: testing your plan and dispiriting your opposition. What’s not to love?

Yup. Another loss for Trump. National media will be chortling over his defeat.

In the South they like Dem governors. There are now four if you count KY, VA and NC.

Let’s call it for Edwards. Rispone won’t turn around a 10,15000 vote deficit.

Its over.

Yes. But the President did a good job. And, we know we have the rural parishes at our backs when the time comes.

We conservatives are a minority in this country and demographics are against us.

Trump’s re-election isn’t a sure thing.
