[Theodore R.]

As I recall, "St." John Breaux trailed in the 1986 primary and then was the runoff winner over Republican Henson Moore. Moore was actually punished by LA voters because he made Democrat election fraud a high priority. People in LA do not like publicity over stolen elections. Now people in LA will "fight" you over Breaux, the way the Texans used to do over Lloyd Bentsen, and the way the Georgians now do over Zell Miller.

LOUISIANA Update:

Rain since this morning, light rain and drizzle this afternoon. Went to vote (metairie suburb) and asked the poll rep how turnout was and he said pretty poor so far. They were only expecting 40% turnout and that was BEFORE the rain. Radio news updates say low turnout so far in South Louisiana today as well as in North Louisiana

This is GREAT news because we need Landrieu (D) to NOT get 50% turnout so it will force a runoff.
