Come on in! The water is fine!

Well, early voting starts Saturday for the runoffs...
Ole Jon Bell Edwards is back in Natchitoches today. Third time this month. Tells me he is running scared, his internal polling has him behind, or maybe within the margin of error. His campaign is trying to shore up his base. He'll carry the city of Natchitoches. Lib dems always do. This is a "give us money" woe-is-us city. But, the numbers must not be as over-whelming as they were hoping.
The campaign for Parish President, by one of the candidates(Lee Waskom) and his operatives, has gotten nasty. The online NP Journal is all in for Waskom such that they only allow pro-Waskom and anti-Richmond articles and comments to be posted. I am supporting fellow Tech grad John Richmond.
Also supporting Ardoin for Sec of State.
I think Edwards will win by 5 points.
We have a very weak candidate who can't energize his base. Am I wrong to think that O&G is not supporting the "conservative" candidate the way they should?
Here's a link to the debate last night: https://710keel.com/governors-debate-gets-heated-video/?fbclid=IwAR0CyPOX2kLt0JgEZyTDYTKQEkoZ1s7Heyz2sUvW xqmlkY7iKGen7alCGh8
Rispone is praying that if he says "Trump" enough, he won't have to say anything else.

I was on board with Abraham. Rispone doesn't do it for me. I didn't vote in the last election because I didn't like Vitter. I'm on the fence on whether or not I vote in this one. Rispone hasn't done anything to earn my vote or change my opinion of him.
No vote is a vote for Edwards, just like it was 4 years ago.
Edwards is just another tax & spend lib. You might remember 4 years ago he threatened to end everything if his huge tax increases weren't passed. He even said he might have to shut down LSU football. At least he knows how to motivate a large portion of the voter base.
Louisiana is dead last in job increases, even as the nation continues to enjoy record levels of employment. Thanks to JBE.
I refuse to vote for Rispone. Count me out.
That's where I was even before the first primary. I knew Rispone's lies were going to hurt Doc.
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.
So maybe a no vote is a vote for better candidates in the future. Abraham was a superior candidate to Rispone in ever way.

That's sort of where i am at. A vote for Rispone means I get him again next election if he wins this one. Four more years of Edwards is no good, but at least next time maybe there will be some new blood.
Next time we get another dud voted in by the voters south of I10
Edwards is absolutely killing job creation in Louisiana. I'm very connected to the industrial construction industry in our state, and I personally know of four huge plant expansions that were cancelled in Louisiana and instead moved to Texas due to policies that Edwards instituted. We're talking billions of dollars in construction and thousands of construction and permanent jobs. Four more years of his policies will set us back to a point that we'll struggle to ever overcome.
Edwards is as big of an establishment hack as they come. Rispone is an outsider that isn't a part of the political machine in Louisiana. I implore everyone to consider giving him a chance. He can't possibly be any worse for our state than Edwards has been.
More good news for the national economy, unemployment rate continues at historic lows, 3.6%, which is considered better than "full employment." But not in poor ole Louisiana... JBE is supported by, and thus he is beholden to, the old political machine that dates back to Earl K. Long, Russell Long, Edwin Edwards et al. It is primarily the Trial Attorney Association. And yes, I can name names but I won't because that can be almost as dangerous as getting on the Killing Klintons' wrong side. Suffice it to say that JBE is entrenched with a bunch of scumbag lawyers who milk the system literally stealing YOUR money! On a historic note, in the entire history of Louisiana, no incumbent governor has ever won reelection after ending up in a runoff. So, if JBE pulls it off, it'll be a first. Oh, and the poll watchers better be on their best game in New Orleans, Baton Rouge and certain precincts elsewhere. The "dead" will be voting multiple times. Trump is coming to Monroe, next week. If I thought I could get in, I'd like to go.
Don't know why the paragraph spacing didn't work...sorry about that.
