What is the truth in the Mcallister vs. Riser discussion?

[TechAlum05]

Wow! That's as bad an arse kickin' as Rice gave us tonight. My guess is 20% turnout. 90% white

The vote is 60%-40% for McAlister with 976 of 981 precincts reporting. Final turnout numbers should be released at the Louisiana Secretary of State website shortly.

When your opponent is ready to go Washington and embrace Obamacare, you need to point this out to the voters. What other "negative" tactics did Riser employ?

I didn't think it was a negative campaign at all. Quoting your opponent in not going negative.

I hate Jindal. I wouldn't vote for anybody Piyush endorsed.

Not sure Riser was a good choice. But I feel strongly that McAllister is not.

My thoughts exactly. After talking with several people today and reading some comments here. I think both leave much to be desired.

I listened to a debate between the two candidates hosted on Moon Griffon's show earlier this week. I had the same feelings about the two that you have.

One of the exchanges I found interesting was that McAlister is against career politicians like Neil Riser, yet McAlister wants to be in Congress for ten years and then possibly to the White House if he's good at his job.

That wouldn't be a "career" necessarily.

Maybe not, but I still thought that was kinda odd.

Less than 20% turned out.

Sickening.

A total of 91,286 voters cast ballots, which is 19 percent of the 481,523 registered voters would cast ballots Saturday

Dang,if I had the money and knew about it, I could of ran and probably won!

Are you presuming that if a person isn't on the Tea Party wagon they are by default on the Democrat wagon?

Both are worth avoiding.

Tea Party >>>> any Rhino >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> any Democrat (synonym for demagogue)

So disappointed Rodney Alexander quit Congress.

Here's a good summary of the race.

His comments to The News-Star:
McAllister said he didn’t hear from Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal, who it was widely believed supported Riser, one of the governor’s floor leaders. “Maybe (Jindal) couldn’t find my number,” McAllister said, chuckling.

That's really sad. Jindal probably called to congratulate J.D. instead of McCallister.

It is not surprising that Jindal didn't contact him. All of his money and any weight he could throw around went to Riser- I am sure he was extremely unhappy no one cared who he wanted in that position.
