Helena Moreno, being not-Black, wil have her butt handed to her on a silver platter, like Karen Carter before her. He won the primary because he got the largest slice of a split black vote. He'll consolidate that in the runoff easily. Then, hopefully, he gets jailed in a few months and NOLA gets to do this thing all over again.

(0.00 / 0) That's my take on it as well.  But I suspect Helena will pull some 40% of the vote.   "I was against NAFTA and CAFTA, and I'll be against SHAFTA." by: ryan @ Mon Oct 06, 2008 at 04:33:05 AM UTC [ Parent ] by: you @ soon To post this comment click here: Otherwise click cancel.

I don't see Moreno doing better than Karen Carter's 43%. 40% sounds about right. by: Dave @ Tue Oct 07, 2008 at 03:33:16 AM UTC [ Parent ] by: you @ soon To post this comment click here: Otherwise click cancel.
