The conservative parishes (incomplete listing): Jefferson, Bossier, Ouachita, Caldwell, LaSalle, Grant, Union, West Carroll, Lafayette, St. Tammany, and SOMETIMES Rapides, Lincoln, East Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Vernon, West Carroll, Iberia, St. Bernard, Plaquemines, Winn (home of the Longs), Jackson, Morehouse, Sabine, and Webster.

Staunchly Democrat: Orleans, Calcasieu, East Carroll, Madison, Tensas, Catahoula, Concordia, Avoyelles (birthplace of Edwin Washington Edwards), Natchitoches, Claiborne, (formerly Republican) Caddo, DeSoto, Bienville, West Baton Rouge, Pointe Coupee, Allen, Evangeline, Jefferson Davis, and Red River (a very small parish south of Shreveport).

Terrell does have a chance, but Orleans Parish alone can provide Landrieu with a 100,000 plurality over Terrell.

Landrieu carried Winn in the primary, despite it being in Cooksey's Congressional district.

Thanks for this info.....it will be interesting to see if there are any voter fraud occurrences in these areas......and then can be added to the watch list on the FReepers Against Voter Fraud thread.

Kinda defies the Dixiecrat theory. One of the most conservative areas of Illinois is Lincoln, which has been Republican since the Republican party was founded. It became incorporated by December 1860.
