I'll have to call and harangue my niece and nephew who live in New Orleans! What are the chances of the supporters of the other six candidates moving their support to Terrell? Were any of the other candidates liberals, greens, etc? I think Landrieu only got 46% of the vote, didn't she? I know Terrell only got 20 something, but with the other candidates votes, she could pull this off! I hope her voters will be motivated to come back out in Dec. to vote for her as much as I hope Landrieu's WON'T!

I don't recall any Greens on the ballot. Other than Landrieu and Terrell, there were 3 other Republicans, a Democrat, a few Independents and a Libertarian.

More than 50% of the voters voted for 4 Republicans, I believe.

Our Louisiana, republican governor, Foster, came out on the air yesterday and said that he could NOT endorse either of the candidates. This man is a former democrat, who endorsed sen. Breaux during his last run for the senate, while Foster himself was a republican governor at the time. The state radio shows have played and replayed his comments since yesterday afternoon. Thye have given out his number and the calls are coming in. I just called, 225-342-7015 AND MADE MY OUTRAGE KNOWN. This is the man who is in charge of the La. Repub. Office, They call and write for donations. I told them this morning that I will not make anymore contributions to the La. repub. party, if they do not take a position on this today. The la. Repub. women are outraged. Suzie has a good chance of winning this one. It will very difficult with all of the history voter fraud. Landrieu got in illegally last time with dead voters pulling her over the edge. I called her number last night that is listed on her web site. The person answering the phone did not know where the sites for headquarters will be located. They better get it together real quick, cause Mary is really nervous about this race.

If anyone say Mary on TV the other night, she looked and sounded like she had taken in more than her share of "adult beverages". SHe was clapping and moving to some jazz sounding music. It put in mind of the same swinger-look that Tipper had on the drums the night Algore lost the election.

Yes, Suzie Terrell will get the support of the other two Republicans in the race. In fact, one of them, John Cooksey, endorsed her yesterday morning. Dr Cooksey received 14% of the vote. The other pubbie, Tony Perkins, received 10% and has not made a public statement about the runoff. I spoke with his office this morning. They assured me that he supports President Bush and wants to see a Republican Senator. He is young, energetic, very conservative, attractive and ambitious. He was a marine and currently he is state representative. He authored Louisiana's Covenant Marriage law. IMHO, he would make an excellant governor and I hope he decides to run. I'm sure he'll support Terrell or his political career will be dead in the water. LOL.

BTW, Mary Landrieu fired her team of political consultants yesterday morning. LOL

See post 101, especially the link to election results. If Terrell has enough money/people to continue pressing her campaign till 12/7, she could beat Landrieu.

3rd and 4th place in the vote were both Republicans representing 24% of the total vote. Add this to Terrell's 27% and she beats Landrieu by 4 points at run-off -- if she has the wherewithal to continue campaigning.
