Ha, I didn’t know he was still alive.

Poll of Louisiana 6th by the Glascock group

Convicted Felon Rat Ex-Governor Edwin Edwards apparently still has enough name recognition that he leads the pack with 32%. He is the only name democrat in the race.

Republican Paul Dietzel and RINO State Sen. Dan Claitor are tied with 16%.

Edwards trails both by 14 points for the runoff, I think that’s generous, he has a zero% chance of winning.

There is a third Republican in the race, Garrett Graves, I can’t seem to find if he was included in the poll. It is essential that Dietzel or Graves makes the runoff.

If the RINO Claitor gets the runoff slot, I’d endorse Fast Eddie. At least Edwards isn’t pretending to be a Republican.

While I was leaning towards Lenar Whitney or Trey Thomas, the most important thing is to avoid a run-off between corrupt Democrat former Gov. Edwin Edwards (who is polling in the 30s in the jungle primary and likely will make the run-off due to such a large GOP field) and RINO state Senator Dan Claitor, so, if conservative Republican businessman Paul Dietzel continues to be Claitor the Traitor’s main rival for the second spot, I will switch my support to Dietzel. The LA-06 is an overwhelmingly conservative and Republican CD after 2011 redistricting (in which black precincts in Baton Rouge were added to the New Orleans-based black-majority LA-02), and it deserves nothing less than a conservative congressman. That sure ain’t Claitor the Traitor.

I guess that we should be thankful that Edwards ran and is consolidating the Democrat vote in the jungle primary, since otherwise we could have ended up with a run-off between RINO Claitor the Traitor and a conservative Republican, and Claitor could win the run-off with close to 100% of the Democrat vote and 20-25% of the Republican vote. Conservatives can defeat Claitor the Traitor in the first round (which will be held on Election Day in November) by coalescing around the conservative with the best chance of beating Claitor out for second place, and right now it looks like it’s Dietzel.
