So LSU fans out of the state in Atlanta would have not been the negative that we thought?

I can't say whether it would or it wouldn't. I'm just saying that it's wrong to automatically assume every LSU alumnus/supporter is a Terrell voter. I personally know several who are strong for Landrieu.

Things are complicated here, and the interest groups don't always line up the way you'd think.

In the small town where I live, both candidates came through a few days apart. I went to both rallies, and I saw a LOT of the same people at both. I'm sure Landrieu's and Terrell's staffers were very pleased with the response. But a lot of the crowd (maybe the majority) were just there for the show. Who knows how they're really going to vote.

It may be a nail biter. But I won't be surprised if EITHER Landrieu or Terrell runs away with it by five points or more.

Football attracts white conservatives, as opposed to, say, soccer games. Many may be blue dogs, but we are trying to get them to vote for the party that best represents their ideology-- and we did in Georgia with great success.

Any white college football fans are part of our target group. Most of these people have no idea where Terrell graduated from college.
