I am disappointed that we didn't take the seat tonight. The fact that the election was as close as it was is indicative of how the mindset of the population is trending, however.
Frankly, I believe that Suzie being a native of New Orleans hurt her chances statewide. New Orleanian politicians have a somewhat tainted image to voters in other areas of the state. Adding this to the fact that she is not a charismatic person resulted in the voter base failing to embrace her candidacy.
I really thought we were going to win this one.
I thought you would have too......but lessons can be learned.....and we need all the Republicans to get involved, go vote, ward off fraud, get excited for 2004.....I think, by the looks of it, this will hopefully energize some pubbies.....Suzie did good, she could've done better, maybe, but she really did well.....a relatively unknown trying to beat an incumbent in a Rat state? Look at those numbers...so very close.
