The Democrats once again have a governor in the South!
Dem candidate John Bel Edwards has won the governor race in Louisiana tonight, with AoS calling the race at 9:26pm.
Currently Edwards leads Vitter 57.05% to 42.95%. 0% of Orleans Parish are in, which will overwhelmingly favor Edwards, so the race is pretty much done.

I just posted
this live update map in the existing thread... didn't hear it had been called but that's the expected result.
Louisiana politics is as colorful as any in the nation. I'm not surprised by this. More surprised by the war chest he was able to accumulate. It's one thing to win an election. Its quite another to do it with style points. Could be a blueprint for others.
Ummm, my good lefties of this site, I am not surprised Vitter lost at all, and in all honesty, kinda happy he did. He was one of those people we should NOT elect to office, and I now hear he will not run for his senate seat this cycle, so that is good too.
But seriously now, did any of you check this Democrat who won? Yes/no?
Well let me tell you, he ran on supporting the 2nd amendment, and being PRO-LIFE! Did you know that?
So here is the reality of the situation, take your pick..........
A. You elected a moderate Republican at worst, or a Blue Dog Democrat at best.
B. He had to lie to get elected, which means he will be removed in the next cycle.
C. The Southern Democrats have gotten smart and decided to throw the far left under the bus.
D. All of the above.
So, if it is either A or C, I like Democrats like that, they remind me of JFK. Good man he was, smart on taxes, communism, socialism. You lefties could use someone like JFK to wake you up. I am going to watch this Edwards, because he might be the person to get the rest of you BACK on the reservation!
