f you thought there weren’t any major elections until the Iowa caucuses on Feb. 3, guess again. On Saturday, Louisiana will choose between incumbent Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards and Republican businessman Eddie Rispone for governor. And the race down in the Bayou looks increasingly close, so it’s an open question whether Edwards can once again overcome Louisiana’s deep red hue to win reelection. Here’s where things stand heading into Election Day.

Just not enough votes in the rural areas to overcome the gimmedats and white guilt voters in the cities.

Socialism is so appealing to the American people who know nothing about it.

I don’t need a link. Orleans parish, the largest in the state, has only reported 24% and is going 92% for Edwards. the tiny lead which Rispone now has will be overwhelmed when Orleans reports.

Shreveport has been liberal since 2000; it does have a Republican sheriff, however.

You’re right, the RNC is ineffective: has no real get-out-the-vote apparatus like the Dems have. Trump could be in big trouble in 2020, but time will tell.

That’s what it looks like.
Can’t see how Rispone wins.

Governor’s races are referendums on the incumbent. My understanding is that the incumbent is a pro life Democrat and moderate to conservative. That’s tough to beat in the South. If the incumbent has been managing the state well, do you really expect that the voters are going to vote him out?

Yeah....hard to vote out FreeChit, isn’t it?

Saw a sign on the dairy case, at WallyWorld, earlier.....

We now accept EBT cards for online grocery orders.

I told hubby....he##, they’re getting their groceries for free....the LEAST they could do is get their lazy arses to the store and actually shop the aisles, themselves.

How do they even afford internet/wifi/computer/phone, to place their online orders, if they’re on EBT?? Don’t answer...we already know how. We the Taxpayer.

Stupid electorate mostly.

I’m seeing parishes like St. Bernard and Jefferson that went easily for Trump in 2016 go Edwards.

Poking around the map early on and there were very few rural R parishes that had that 75/25 Republican split that is needed now that the suburbs like Jefferson have turned Rat.

Expecting what we saw in KY. Widespread fraud, thousands and thousands of illegals voting. If they say it’s close, that means the democrap wins. GOP has done nothing to legislate against fraud when in power. 2020 will be a disaster, as millions of illegals votes will be cast against republicans.

Partner, we know u are correct in everything you have mentioned about the Illegal Aliens voting and about the Kentucky voting results.

The DemonRats have a real passion to do fraud in an election. Heck, this is the only way they can win.
