This is all rationalising nonsense by sore-losers. In spite of the odds of facing an incumbent senator, from a well-known Louisiana family, the politically unknown and physically less attractive Suzie Terrell received 48.4% of the vote (dramatically up from the 27% she received in the general election). Consider that, if some GOP strongholds had turned out a little bit more, it would have swung Terrell over the top.

Landrieu can sing her little song, but this only serves to prove how the GOP is gaining traction in the state that "hasn't elected a Republican senator since Reconstruction." I'm looking forward to the end of that line.

Can anyone tell me what the level of fraud was in this election? 42% Turnout could well mean that ballots were discarded. 40,000 IS an awful lot of votes, but on the other hand I have personally seen 5-600 votes per precinct affected by fraud.

I am starting to sound like the proverbial broken record, I know. But the key to straight elections is straight registration. You people in LA don't have that. I am highly suspicious of the WBJC last-minute phone call. Sounds more like the Morial fix was already in and WBJC was just calling the snap.

Republicans are perfectly capable of losing straight elections. But win, lose, or draw the process has to be straight or this ain't America. So again, my question: honest election?

That may happen sooner than you think.

Those coonasses better get ready to eat a lot of Louisiana sugar, because the rest of us are going to be eating cheaper MEXICAN sugar.

Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't there three or four Republican candidates in the general election and didn't their combined vote total exceed 50%? So what happened?
