I just got back from voting in my home parish (St. Bernard) then taking the family to lunch uptown. In the 9th Ward along North Claiborne and again on South Claiborne, both primarily areas with black residents, there were many Landrieu signs, and 2-3 people on corners holding Landrieu signs.
A couple of large South Claiborne intersections, including the corner of Martin Luther King Blvd. were among those with the Landrieu signs, and I believe the ML King intersection had a Landrieu supporter there.
In the midst of all the Landrieu signs, and in one case, a Landrieu sign-waver, were an almost equal number of signs reading as follows:
I was amazed, and so very pleased, to see this! I think it speaks VOLUMES to see such a statement being made in the heart of a predominantly black section of New Orleans! I believe (and hope) that the black community is indeed realizing that they have been taken for granted by the Dims, and perhaps this is the start of payback time.
There was a name in small print at the bottom of the signs which I'm sure stated who paid for them. Unfortunately, I was unable to read it.
I figured everyone would want to know about this, so I jumped on my computer the moment I got home.
WHILE THIS IS VERY ENCOURAGING, DO NOT LET IT (OR ANY OTHER NEWS, GOOD OR BAD) MAKE YOU APATHETIC! EVERYONE GO OUT AND VOTE TO MAKE SUZIE TERRELL OUR NEXT SENATOR, AND GET YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND NEIGHBORS TO DO THE SAME!
At my polling place in St. Bernard, it wasn't crowded when I went (1PM.) I asked about the turnout, and the poll workers said it was steady, and that in their opinion heavier than in November.
This probably is a good thing, as here's how St. Bernard voted in the primary:
Cooksey 1285
Landrieu 7792
Perkins 913
Terrell 7430
Total Republican vote 9628
Here's to victory!!!
