Richard Baker, the incumbent Republican Congressman in Louisiana's 6th district is winning handily with 84% of the vote. 80% of the precincts reporting.
Okay, can somebody explain the Louisiana thing to me? Why are there three Republicans in the race and why is there going to be a runoff when the 'Rat appears to be getting most of the votes? This has alway puzzled me but I've been so occupied with other races that I haven't spent any time researching it.
