The only reason I can think of to explain this is that conservatives in that state are lazy. To me, this contest was winnable by the Republican candidate. I have yet to see turnout stats, but I'm sure they will show that our people felt that they had better things to do. We have to keep up the fight. Just because we had a good day on Nov 5th doesn't mean the game is over. In fact, it means the opposite.....

Never underestimate the power of the democrat party in LA. When one party has political control unchallenged for so long, state politics just become a corrupt machine (since Huey Long). LA is probably the number one example of this, with Arkansas at number two until recent GOP wins in the 90's.

Its been since Reconstruction since the GOP had a senate seat in LA. It just means that its going to be harder to win there.
