Tori is right,,something weird in Evangeline is going on. That parish went for Bush and now it is going for Landrieu. It is heavily catholic,,cajun country.

I'm not sure there is enough data to be concerned at this point. My list showed Evangeline as leaning slightly Democrat. Remember that although Bush may have won the Parish by a few percent, I think he won the state by more than that (11%?). So if Terrell lags Bush's performance by 7-8% she wins the state by three. I'll be happy with winning by three votes, let alone percent.

Also... it could easily be Bush's performance two years ago that is out of kilter, not Terrell's. What were the numbers for the "primary" this year?

Lastly, we're talking about a couple hundred votes in one precinct. Let's wait a bit.

Forget Evangeline. The cities of Ville Platte and Opelousas can trend Democrat and it appears that this has happened. Lots of Black votes in those towns. Yet TERRELL did not get beat up bad enough to fret at this point. I think we'll have a very close vote but when the music stops we'll be in the Senate seat.

Hang in there
