No. You will find me arguing that Dixie let the GOP down by failing to win the state DESPITE New Orleans. Everyone (except you) knew which way N.O. parish would go.
The issue that saved Landrieu was Sugar, and the conservative white votes that went with it. Apparently proving that confederates don't mind a protective tariff as long as they get the protection.
Quite to the contrary. When I noted the simple fact that, minus New Orleans, Terrell won a majority in the state, you accused me of lying. I pulled the vote totals and demonstrated that this was so, thereby making you the liar.
Those who did were in a minority, as Terrell won the non-New Orleans population of the state. At best all you can say is that this minority of sugar tariff voters diminished Terrell's majority in the rest of the state, thus making it impossible to overcome the massive deficit caused by New Orleans. In fact, that is often how southern political races occur - non-black voters must vote in relative unanimaty themselves to win, because anything reflecting a less-than-landslide GOP leaning in the population as a whole will be skewed into a Democrat win by the 95% black vote that they irrationally give to the plantation masters at the DNC.
