Glad you put your personal feelings above what's best for our state and our nation.

Having a joke as governor isn’t best for anybody...yes, even if he has an R by his name. When will y’all start demanding more? Blind devotion to terrible candidates is doing more to elect your opposition than my emotions.

Another crony capitalist bites the dust!

The trial attorneys stole another election. Oh well, Louisiana deserves what she gets. This state likes being dead last in all the important things.

Fellow Tech grad John Richmond did win Parish President though.

We had/have a joke as a governor.

Capitalist public servants is what we need (flaws and all), not socialist liberal career politicians.

Enjoy your auto rates doubling over the next four years while the jobs continue go to Texas and Mississippi.

The Republican fat cat idiots and crony, self serving power brokers deservedly lost. Second time in 50 years I've voted Democrat for governor, other was E Edwards over Duke.

"It's not the lesser of two evils, it's the evil of two lessers" is how Johnny Carson once put it. Republican moneyed (fat cat) powers BLEW A SURE WIN WITH ABRAHAM.

Edward got 774,000 votes, Republican Ardoin got 867,000. JBE easily loses to a decent opponent. I'm not pleased Edwards won but I'm elated that front man Rispone and those that pull his strings lost.

Stop pretending you had any confidence in Rispone. You had to hold you nose REAL tight to cast that vote.

Like I said, you should demand better.

Did you see JBE’s biggest gains were in districts Abraham won? Guess they care about character over there!

I've been demanding better since EWE started the open primary crap. Things won't change until that is changed.

JBE gained in those districts because people didn't go vote or didn't vote for Edwards or Rispone.

I called this when Rispone got in the run off. I NEVER said he would win.

Just curious...So with you it was not the way Rispone ran his campaign, it was that so much money went to him rather than Abraham?

This is why we need to S Can the Open Primary.

I may do what several of my Vitter hating friends did in the last election that put Edwards in in the first place. Rispone is a POS.

I was wrong. He won by 2 points

I didn't want to vote for Vitter either, but our weak ass Louisiana GOP is so bad we keep getting bad candidates...Rispone, Vitter, Jindal, etc..

Our state is so screwed up, one more term of Edwards won't hurt more, but with the super majority we could change so much.

South of I-10 has been our problem all my life. It will continue. It's two different cultures and demographics.

Fair question. The campaign disgusted me, and was why I could never have voted for Rispone. Went through a similar race (wasn't close) for state senator here and I'm totally disgusted.

No doubt Rispone cost himself this race by following the advice of his campaign advisers. His own greed got him.

It's funny how voters will vote against that sort of thing, but will cast a vote for a democrat who celebrates being corrupt. This sickened me when people voted for EWE and it still does.

Amen, brother!

I have to admit I didn’t vote. Couldn’t stand either candidate. We’re relocating to Springdale, AR for permanent residence anyway.

Much better quality of life there for semi-retired folks like us - cheaper housing, access to more health care options, better shopping and restaurants, among other things.

I’ll still be spending a good bit of time in LA though as long as I have clients here.

Springdale AR is a nice area. Thirty years ago is was a folksy backwater place, then the Wal=mart money started flowing in so it is booming now.

There are some bad hombres up there in NWA, I'd avoid it if I were you.
