Glascock Poll
Louisiana 6th, Rat Edwin Edwards 32%, RINO Dan Claitor 19%, Paul Dietzel (R) 19%, Lenar Whitney (R) 11%, Garret Graves (R) 7%
Graves has the most coin, it’s not helping him in the polls.
Louisiana 5th
Dr. Ralph Abraham (R) 22%, RINO Inc. Vance McCallister 20%, Jamie Mayo (D) 15%.
Glascock thinks the entry of Clyde Holloway into the race has hurt McCallister, Holloway BTW, despite being well known and having raised more money than anyone but McCallister, is polling at just 9%.
Abraham thinks Congressman should not be paid (great idea, no one but the independently wealthy would run) and says he’d donate his salary to charity.
I’m starting to seriously dislike these jungle primaries. It seems now that if and when 2 Republicans get in the runoff, the RINO seems to get the upper hand, not only sweeping all support from Democrats, but from the GOP Establishment as well. It would make it more difficult going to party primaries.
If Claitor ends up against Edwards, I will endorse Fast Eddie. I’m surprised he hasn’t switched parties as so many (even liberal White LA Democrats) have done.
I’m hoping that Lenar Whitney wins the 5th (though all the Republicans there appear to be acceptable) and that Clyde Holloway makes a successful comeback in the 5th (he’d be our equivalent of Rick Nolan).
