LA-Statewide Races Results - 3,966 of 3,967 Precincts Reporting by: ryan Sat Oct 20, 2007 at 20:20:19 PM CDT (We're looking at definite run-offs in the Agriculture Commissioner's race, and the Attorney General's race. Potential run-offs in the Insurance Commissioner's race, as well as in the Governor's race. As of 9:50 PM CST, I'm calling the Secretary of State's race for Republican "Jay" Dardenne, and the Lt. Governor's race for Democrat Mitch Landrieu. As of 11:00 PM CST, I'm calling the Governor's race for "Bobby" Jindal. Congratulations, Mr. Jindal. By the way, God Save Our State. - promoted by ryan) Welcome!  For all you out-of-state visitors, we have a weird (to y'all) system in electing folks here.  Everyone runs against everybody in an open primary the first time around.  If no one gets 50% of the vote, then we take the top two finishers and place them in a runoff, 30 days later, which this year falls on November 17th.  Governor Walter Boasso (D)-  17% Foster Campbell (D)- 12% John Georges (I)- 14% "Bobby" Jindal (R)- 54% Lt. Governor Gary Beard (R)- 11% "Sammy" Kershaw (R)- 30% Mitch Landrieu (D)- 57% Secretary of State "Jay" Dardenne (R)- 63% "R." Wooley (D)- 31% Attorney General Royal Alexander (R)- 32% (395,649) "Buddy" Caldwell (D)- 36% (434,111) Charles Foti (D)- 32% (389,568) AG Commisioner Wayne Carter (R) - 12% "Bob" Odom (D)- 41% Mike Strain (R)- 40% Insurance Commisioner "Jim" Crowley (D)- 36% "Jim" Donelon (R)- 51% ryan :: LA-Statewide Races Results - 3,966 of 3,967 Precincts Reporting Tags: louisiana, 2007, Election Results, (All Tags) Print Friendly View Send As Email LA-Statewide Races Results - 3,966 of 3,967 Precincts Reporting | 9 comments by: you @ soon To post this comment click here: Otherwise click cancel.

(0.00 / 0) And serve to underscore the piss-poor job our Gubernatorial candidates did in convincing voters they were better than Jindal.  "I was against NAFTA and CAFTA, and I'll be against SHAFTA." by: ryan @ Sun Oct 21, 2007 at 03:13:17 AM UTC [ Parent ] by: you @ soon To post this comment click here: Otherwise click cancel.

In other news, I finally was able to get the LA-SOS parish data to load for Orleans. 328 of 442 precincts reporting.... Governor 328 of 442 precincts reporting 122 0% B.

You must enter a subject for your comment But the key part is ... (0.00 / 0) only 50,000 folks in NOLA came out to vote?  And supposedly 250,000-ish have come back or stayed there?  Seriously, WTF?!

You must enter a subject for your comment Piss Poor is Right! (0.00 / 0) What can we expect when the top tier of Democrats (Breaux, Blanco, Melancon, Senator Landrieu, etc.) sat out the race and didn't even make an endorsement.  Nagin did make a half-assed endorsement of Georges. I will continue to vote for the folks that sat out the race but none of them will get a cent of my limited political money or a minute of my time.  I will devote my money and time to out-of-state politics where the good guys have a chance.  I hope and pray that I am wrong but this election looks like another step backward for Louisiana.  What Jindal and his right-wing masters are going to do to Louisiana is scary! by: van cook @ Sun Oct 21, 2007 at 14:45:16 PM UTC [ Parent ] by: you @ soon To post this comment click here: Otherwise click cancel. You must enter a subject for your comment State Senate (0.00 / 0) My tally is 19 Dem wins 10 Rep wins 5 Dem/Dem runoffs 4 Dem/Rep runoffs 1 Rep/Rep runoffs So that means that the state senate will have anywhere from 24 to 28 Democrats, and from 11 to 15 Republicans. No word on the state house. Because 105 is larger than 39 by: RBH @ Sun Oct 21, 2007 at 04:36:26 AM UTC by: you @ soon To post this comment click here: Otherwise click cancel.
