DISCUSSION   LBT:11457 The Fixer ( 14.24 points) November 19, 2022 11:54am Jeff Landry is running for Governor. Source: [Link]   R:11221 Jewish conservative ( 299.52 points) March 11, 2023 10:30pm Clay Higgins was added twice... how do I delete an endorsement?   R:10345 Bensq1 ( 60.78 points) October 14, 2023 10:14pm DDHQ and others have called it.   D:10973 Patrick ( -4.38 points) October 14, 2023 10:27pm I don't know who Jeff Landry is but I eagerly await learning about his past and future improprieties.   I:6738 IndyGeorgia ( 4113.60 points) October 14, 2023 11:08pm I remember him from Congress: conservative record and Louisiana accent.   D:1989 RBH ( 5260.33 points) October 15, 2023 01:12am a few notes 1) my PC monitor is actually wide enough to see the table of results by parish on the static results page. It's just that I prefer not having one window take up the entire screen because my monitor is 1920x1080 2) the 6th place finisher shows up in more parishes on the deviation map than the 3rd place finisher because I suspect some voters voted for the first Democrat they saw on the ballot and Cole was one of two Democrats they saw 3) guess one big difference between this race and other statewide races is the lack of strong Rs to keep Landry under 50% 4) yeah Landry's one of those "sue the Federal Government over and over (if a Dem is President)" state Attorney Generaals   W:11230 Arthur ( -72.38 points) October 15, 2023 05:01am So the Dems will end up combining for 28.5% of the vote in a state Biden got 39.9%, an even worse underperformance than last year's Senate race, albeit with lower turnout as well. Off-year elections in Southern states are not kind for Dems when they almost exclusively rely on low-turnout Black voters. Something to keep in mind for next month's Mississippi election & (maybe, but probably not) for Kentucky's election.   D:1989 RBH ( 5260.33 points) October 15, 2023 12:47pm despite voting the same way in every President election since 1972, Kentucky and Louisiana have voted for different parties for Governor every time except one after 1991 (the exception being 2019) 1995/1999: Kentucky D, Louisiana R 2003: Kentucky R, Louisiana D 2007/2011: Kentucky D, Louisiana R 2015: Kentucky R, Louisiana D 2019: Kentucky D, Louisiana D I suspect Kentucky and Louisiana will have Republican governors at the same time one day though.
