Don't hate them just realize that their predictions have a record of not being reliable.

Aw, you're a hater, admit it. How do you know that their prediction wasn't right on based on the conditions when it was made? For example:

"... an objective reading of the FACTS makes it clear Al Gore is LOSING."

I don't think that's even debatable. He WAS losing. He needed a big shift at the very end out of the Blue, and he got it.

Why hate?

I just checked from facts from 30 years ago. In 1972, David C. Treen (R) lost to Edwin Washington Edwards (D) for governor. Treen won 27 parishes, compared to Jindal's 12 parishes.

Here are the North LA parishes won by Treen that Jindal lost:

LaSalle (68 percent, Treen's largest margin statewide)
Lincoln (66)
Winn (64)
Caddo (63)
Caldwell (63)
Morehouse (62)
West Carroll (62)
Franklin (61)
Grant (59)
Union (58)
Beaureagard (56) This may have been a Blanco parish.
Sabine (56)
Rapides (56)
Webster (55)
Richland (54)
Claiborne (54)
Jackson (53)
Catahoula (51)
Concordia (51)
Bienville (51)

Treen lost by 160,000 total votes. Edwards was believed to have received 202,000 black votes statewide.

North LA has swung far more Democrat in gubernatorial and senatorial elections in the past 30 years.

In 1972, the GOP had 40,000 registered voters statewide. Now it has almost exactly 600,000. Yet the GOP is regressing in many areas of LA.
