  • Dems lose another governors race

    From ScottW@21:1/5 to All on Sun Oct 15 08:36:51 2023
    Cuz they're soft of crime.

    and it's worse.

    As for vote totals, Landry ended up with around 51 percent of the vote, while Wilson garnered just 26 percent. Other Republican candidates combined for about 15 percent, meaning the GOP carried a sizable majority of voters.

    No, because Louisiana is a Southern red state.

    GOP wins majority in a red state. Stop the presses!

    So it's not even the Democrats' turn. Still:

    https://www.270towin.com/states/Louisiana

    Haven't voted majority for Democratic presidential candidate since 1996; haven't have had more than one Democratic Congress member (of at most seven) since 2006; and, haven't sent more Democrats than Republicans to the House since 1994.

    We can grant that Louisiana is not THE most backward state in the South, though.

    Outside of New Orleans, it's said to be Mississippi with good food.

    They may be in the "Bible belt", but their real religion is racism. JEE-zus was from
    Abyssinia, after all.

    But it's a governor's race. If you want to look at other offices in Louisiana, New
    Orleans hasn't had a Republican governor since 1872.

    YES , SINCE 1872
    That is 151 years ago.

    But it's a governor's race. If you want to look at other offices in Louisiana, New Orleans hasn't had a Republican governor [sic] since 1872.

    Still presently a red state going on three decades, no matter the
    history of New Orleans.

    YES , SINCE 1872 That is 151 years ago.

    Interesting. They had a Republican mayor just after the Civil War? Then
    it's all Democrats since 1872?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconstruction_era

    The Mayor in 1866 doesn't seem very liberal.

    The Democrats were the racist conservative party following the Civil War.
