Polls closed at 8 pm CDT

Post updates here.

[ronzo]

1. There were still lines at poll closing due to the lengthy ballot..

There were still lines at poll closing due to the lengthy ballot, due to the amendment voting, according to WWL ch 4 NOLA. Not sure what they did with these people.

[jus_the_facts]

2. Doubt they will allow 'em to vote now......

....wouldn't up here...that's for sure!! :(

[kayleybeth]

3. At my precinct

If you're already in line at the cutoff time, you still get to vote. If you show up even a minute late, you're turned away. Don't know if that's statewide or not, but that's how they do it here.

[jus_the_facts]

4. 3% reporting......

1. Jindal-R 45%
2. Blanco-D 29%
3. Ieyoub-D 12%
4. Downer-R 8%
5. Leach-D 3%
6. Ewing-D 1%

x(

on edit....oops had Blanco as a R....*ahem*...since she's not pro choice..well....

[ronzo]

5. Blanco's a Dem.

:)

[jus_the_facts]

6. corrected and an explination....n/t

[jus_the_facts]

7. they just reported turnout here.....

60% of voters in Monroe...heavy minority turnout....and only 30% in West Monroe....heavy redneck area....low turnout....heh!! :)

[kayleybeth]

8. YES!

That can only be good for the Dems! Let's hope the rest of the state follows suit. OTOH there was a pretty big turnout at my precinct, which can't be good... mostly Repukes here.

[jus_the_facts]

10. well I'm amazed at the turnout here....it's usually the opposite...

..so :shrug: maybe a good sign!! :evilgrin:

[juajen]

54. My husband just said that that's probably because

the rednecks are so racist, they probably object to voting for Jindal. (sp.?) That is so sad, but funny.

[jus_the_facts]

77. yeah that's exactly why.....and I come from that side of the river.....

....but moved over here because I don't have my head shoved up my ass sideways like most of those ignorant fundie hypocrites :eyes:

[ronzo]

9. still sitting at 2% here.

but, I'll say this for WWL 4, they have people all over the place.

[jus_the_facts]

11. We're gettin' a feed up here by them I believe....s'that a CBS station?

:shrug: if so that's the one! :)

[ronzo]

12. That'd be them. All the other locals will begin coverage at 9. n/t

[jus_the_facts]

13. that 3% wasn't right......

....my local station are a bunch of incomp. boobs :eyes:

[jus_the_facts]

14. dammit......

Jindal 28%
Blanco 22%
Ieyoub 18%
Ewing 12%
Leach 11%

x(

[ButterflyBlood]

16. Big improvement over last one

and in a Jindal/Blanco race, Blanco will be heavily favored. Besides that has New Orleans been counted yet? When that happens Jindal should fall way down hard.

[jus_the_facts]

24. I can't believe Jindal is gettin' that much as it is....but....

....they usually count the pub areas first...so hopefully it'll go WAAAAAY down....I don't like Blanco....she's not pro choice Buddy Leach who I voted for is the ONLY pro choice candidate and he's not doin' so good at this point in time x( Richard Ieyoub is a LOT better IMHO...and I wanted to vote for him but Leach impressed me in the debates soooo.....:shrug:

[ronzo]

15. 10% in

Jindal-R 31%

19. Gonna be tight.

Of course, Suzanne Haik Terrel lost to Mary Landrieu in our last senate race, no love for susie.

Mary's brother Mitch was over 50% last time I checked the Lt Gov race.

32. Alright, jindal's in a run-off...with whom? nt

[NewJerseyDem]

46. Hopefully Blanco and Ieyoub aren't too close in the end

It seems like the two of them are running very close together. I hope that it is clear that one of them won and there isn't any dispute between the two of them. It would be very bad if the party wasn't completely united against Jindal.

[NewJerseyDem]

Is Blanco or Ieyoub better against Jindal?

It appears that Jindal will come in first and that Blaco or Ieyoub will come in second and make the recall. Who do you think is the better candidate in the runoff. I think I saw a poll that had Blanco with a very low negative rating and Ieyoub's was somewhat higher. So, I guess that Blanco would have a better chance.

Does anyone else have a different view?

I know that neither are particularly popular because they are pro-life but are their views similar on other issues?

Who is more liberal or are they about the same?

[jus_the_facts]

38. IEYOUB.....is a better choice.....

I....can't stand Blanco...she's a DINO IMHO x(

[ronzo]

42. I'll vote for either.

I'm a little more forgiving, I guess. DINOs have their place.
peace.

[jus_the_facts]

48. just don't like her...regardless....

.....despite the DINO lable she's just not a very smart woman...she seems rather slow to me....and neither her nor Ieyoub are pro choice...that's why I voted for Leach but I'm holding out to see if Ieyoub can somehow pull ahead :(

Peace to you too!:hi:

[ronzo]

53. I can handle that.

Did you see jindal? He's goin' down.
And here we see the beauty of it, folks. No matter which one runs off, I'm sure we can agree that we're both going to support them against the repuke.
Cheers,
Ron

[juajen]

68. I respectfully disagree,

I love Kathleen. She is not dumb. She is rather laidback. She is a very calming figure, but extremely smart.

[ronzo]

72. It's that coonass appeal.

Don't mistake her "country" for "dumbass". But, JTF brings up the fact that she's not pro-choice. I understand the misgivings there. I can't confirm that one way or the other, I'm sad to say. It's a case of not seeing the trees for the forest. Regardless, I'm voting for the Dem.

[juajen]

61. She's soft in demeaner, but hard as nails when it comes to campaigning

I think she will be in the runoff and will be the first female governor of the State of Louisiana. I am in Lafayette Parish and we have had some kind of trouble at the Clerk of Court's office. Numbers are just now coming in. Kathleen should do well here, since this is her home. Since New Orleans has already said she is the dem that will be in the runoff, I guess she did well in NO. I know she'll do well here. She ran a clean, very dignified campaign. I don't think she has ever lost a race. Someone correct me, if I am wrong.

[jus_the_facts]

67. only because she had an even weaker opponent....

...IMHO...I voted for her just because she was the only Democrat running....not because I had any confidence in her ability...can't stand her and don't want to see her represent Louisiana as the first woman Governor either...looks like I'll have to now regardless *holds nose* x(

[NewJerseyDem]

33. Never Mind

[salin]

34. Very interesting results

looks like Terrell is losing (again!)

looks like while the leading repub is really leading - the number of dem votes (in toto) surpasses repub votes. Who says LA is not still competitive?

Keep these updates coming!

[ronzo]

35. Looking good for the coastal restoration amendments.

60-65% yea on all three...53% in. good.

[jus_the_facts]

41. what a sickening display regardless......HOW IN THE HELL........

....can people vote AGAINST keeping their own state from not sliding off into the fucking Gulf of Mexico is BEYOND ME :scared:

Does anyone else have more recent results for these races?

Looks good for Landrieu and Foti, particularly since New Orleans apparently hasn't reported yet.

[ronzo]

37. Will do. NOLA TV has a jump on the web results. n/t

[ronzo]

40. 61% in ... Mitch 51% holloway 21%.... Go Mitch! n/t

[NewJerseyDem]

44. That's good

It would be great if that race avoids a runoff.

It is important that there will be some other people, like Landrieu, in other statewide offices that can prepare for future elections, particularly if Jindal wins. Hopefully, we won't have to worry about that.

It is kind of a problem, IMO, that in New Jersey we don't have any other statewide elected offices except for governor so there isn't anyone to run for governor that anyone has ever heard of. But in Louisiana there are plenty of strong future candidates and if democrats hold those offices than we have an advantage in the next elections.

[ronzo]

45. Good take. I think Mitch is a rising star.

And suzie... buh-bye.

[NewJerseyDem]

50. I can't wait until November

I'm such a loser, I really enjoy watching election results come in. This reminds me of how I just can't wait until November when the New Jersey legislative elections are held. And there is also the Mississippi and Kentucky races that day. And then Louisiana holds its runoff a couple of weeks later. And then the Iowa Caucuses and New Hampshire primary and other primaries and then finally the November 2004 general election, the ultimate election.

I really need to get a life!

[Yupster]

51. I'm with you NJDem

in fact I like the electoral college just because it makes the race cooler with all the different races and the maps and all.

[NewJerseyDem]

52. I completely agree

I think that the electoral college is wrong in principle but it makes the election night so much more fun and interesting.

[Rowdyboy]

57. A little update on Mississippi...

Musgrove is looking stronger. He's now either tied or in a tiny lead over Barbour. God willing, I won't have to listen to that smarmy bastard Haley Barbour for 4 years!

[TruthIsAll]

69. The electoral college makes it fun and interesting- to steal an election?

Come on, NewJersey. Get real. It's because of the EC that Bush was able to steal the election in 2000 and hopes to steal it again in 2004.

We don't need those colors and that excitement. We don't need that Bush fraud.

What we need is that the Dem, the one with the most votes, wins.

[NewJerseyDem]

71. However....

In my view Gore shouldn't have won either. Neither got a majority of the votes and therefore I don't think either should have won and that a runoff should occur. All I'm saying is that I really like the electoral college's way of making the race more interesting to follow and providing a more complex election. It is really fun for political junkies liek myself unlike some boring general election where you only follow one national poll instead of 51 seperate polls in the months before the election.

However, if I had a vote in Congress on a constitutional amendment I would probably reluctantly vote to abolish the electoral college. But, it would really ruin election day for me.

[Rowdyboy]

55. YES!!!

Susie Haik Terrell down the tubes...Let her poor excuse for a political career expire tonight...

A toast to my neighbors 'cross the river :toast:

Now either Blanco or Ieyoub can send Jindal packing. Probably wind up a filthy rich lobbyist.

on edit: Damn, ya'll have good food! I'm being taken to NEW ORLEANS for 3 nights for my 50th birthday in March. I can taste the deep fried soft shell crab at Irene's already. I'll expect you guys to have the new Democratic governor in place. Until then...

[ronzo]

56. Yeah....

That'll just about do it for her, like that prick woody jenkins. I'm sure she'll take the hint.

[Rowdyboy]

58. Glad to see you guys "retired" your party-switcher

Ms Schwegman. I only hope Mississippi does the same to our Lt Gov, party-switching Amy Tuck in November

[ronzo]

64. Yeah, dem Schwegmanns are lookin' for jobs... n/t

[kayleybeth]

70. Hi Rowdyboy

When is Mississippi's election? Last I read, Barbour was behind in the polls. Go Ronnie!

[juajen]

73. Hey, after you feast in NO,

come over to Lafayette and taste some real cajun food. Believe it's great here, too. That's why it's hard for cajuns to transplant. You just can't take the food with you. Understand, we have great cooks everywhere, but, everybody goes out to dinner here. Go figure! I guess it's because we have so many restaurants. Do visit if you get a chance. Hope you have a great celebration in NO. It's numero uno for that.

[ronzo]

59. WWL's calling a Blanco / jindal runoff election. n/t

typo.

[jus_the_facts]

63. fuuuuuuuuuuuck....guess I'll hold my nose and vote for her stoopid ass....

:eyes:

[ronzo]

65. WWL just covered ass... not calling it yet. n/t

[kayleybeth]

78. I know

but at least Blanco will be better than Foster or Jindal. And I think she has a better chance of beating Jindal than the other Dem candidates. I hope so anyway. :)

[jus_the_facts]

80. I'm afraid not by much.....WE NEEDED BUDDY LEACH.....

....he wanted to tax the hell out of the oil and gas industry *f they didn't like it bye:hi:bye to the polluting sons a bitches ...raise mnimum wage to 7.15hr....he is pro choice...and he wanted to make sure the pharmacutical corps STOPPED screwin' the elderly and on and on and on. :cry:

I'm just sick the way this has turned out...gonna get off here now and sulk. :hi:

[ronzo]

60. terrel conceded.

:toast:
DRINK!

66. YEAH BAYBEE

Suzie can crawl back under her rock now.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

81. ol'horseface losses again!

[kayleybeth]

62. Question for Louisiana natives

Has Louisiana ever had a pro-choice governor? Wasn't Edwards pro-life Catholic? Forgive me if I am mistaken, I am not from here originally.

[juajen]

75. Well, though not a native, I have lived here for over 20 years

and, not to my knowledge. Too much catholic influence in this state to win if you are pro-choice. Probably some of them are, just won't admit it.

[kayleybeth]

76. Hi juajen

That's what I thought. Thanks for the reply. :)

Kayeleigh

[kayleybeth]

74. WOO HOO!!!!!!!

Terrell conceding. Thanks for playing Suzie, now GO HOME!

[ronzo]

79. Alright. semi-finals....

Mitch Landrieu will be the new Lt Governor of Louisiana. (avoided a runoff) nice.

Kathleen Babineaux Blanco will runnoff against Bobby Jindal for the Governors seat.

Charles Foti defeated poor ol' suzanne haik terrel for the Attorney General's office.

repuke holds on to the Sec of State... incumbent holds on. That sucks.

EDIT:
All in all, a good trend. A good night for the Dem barometer in Louisiana.

[kayleybeth]

82. This is GREAT

except for the secretary of state office. Fox McKeithen can kiss my ass. Otherwise, I think Blanco will beat Jindal soundly in the runoff election. Anyone have numbers on the Senate/House elections? For some reason my local stations are not reporting those results.

[kayleybeth]

83. Ieyoub

is conceding. Oh well, at least Suzie isn't going to take his seat as AG.
