Louisiana reverses the red tide, elects Democratic governor

[LiberalArkie]

You undoubtedly know by now that John Bel Edwards, a conservative Democrat, defeated Republican Sen. David Vitter in the race for Louisiana governor, with 56.1 percent of the vote. Louisiana in recent years has trended even more strongly Republican than Arkansas.

Edwards did more than win. He drove Vitter out of politics. The loser announced Saturday night he'd not seek re-election to the U.S. Senate.

I'll leave it to Rep. Nate Bell of Arkansas (is there such as thing as an IINO, independent in name only, for someone who's a reliable Repblican vote?) for a relevant comment, in the form of a Luke Russet tweet he dug up and retweeted last night:

#Dems can win in the Deep South! So long as their candidate is a veteran who's basically a #GOP & the R is a paranoid prostitute patron

[Thinkingabout]

1. After 8 years of Jindal ruin of Louisiana even the republicans was not happy with Jindal. Vitter

was probably the candidate the DNC wanted to run against.. Hopefully this will be a trend in the south, show a Democrat can win.

3. I hope so. Us boomers are just about ready to call it a day and let everyone else worry

about things.

2. And in good news,

the diaper manufacturers are looking forward to increased sales since Wendy Vitter no longer has a reason to stay with David anymore!

4. Vitter did not come to the table with very clean hands. I hope a new era is returning to Louisiana.

5. Very clean hands?

Is that some innuendo about his inability to change his own diapers?

And hasn't he heard of wet naps?

[Thinkingabout]

6. I think he likes the work of "hired hands".

My RW folks in Louisiana realized Jindal really hurt their state, I told them he was not any good, now they believe me. Even the Republican Representatives knows he has created a big mess in Louisiana.
