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.
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.
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.
Election night
I was wrong. He won by 2 points
Turns out there were approximately 50K of these
South of I-10 carried it for him again. Nice company some of you keep.
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.
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.
