I think the Republicans lost this race in Louisiana... Cooksey and the current Gov just couldn't bring themselves to happily endorse her...

I guess has a choice to make: Louisiana in 2004 or hispanic votes in relation to sugar...

This wasn't any one thing - but a lot of little things.

* The economic team shake-up
* The suger "issue"
* Cooksey, Foster, and that other guy not getting on board
* And the Dems determined not to lose another seat and show they had some sign of life.

Take away any one of those issues, and you'd have this going GOP. Well, we need to come back at `em next year and in 2004, and do it hard and fast.
