Louisiana doesn't have a county-by-county electoral college style voting though, does it? Ultimately total votes are what count, NOT the quantity of counties and their size...correct?

Percentage wise, its worse too. Landrieu only got 40 percent of the vote in Evangeline in November; with 59/61 precincts in, she's getting 51 percent tonite.

Last time there was Woody Jenkins. He was able to pull in more from those areas. Suzanne will make it up in Orleans.
Trust me on this.
Everyone. Stop fretting. Don't be lemmings to fear.
