Calling Bobby Jindal [Greg Pollowitz 06/26 02:15 PM] It seems that Mitch Landrieu's defeat in this year's mayoral election might signal the end of Democratic politics as we know it in Louisiana. From today's Times-Picayune: Though some population rebound is expected, any decline in the number of voters in the precincts that helped keep Mary Landrieu in office is a potential threat to her, her brother and other Democrats running statewide, said Susan Howell, a University of New Orleans political scientist. "There are fewer blacks in Orleans Parish, and that was the stronghold of African-American voters," Howell said. "That takes away one of the bases for a Democrat to be elected statewide. "This hurts (Gov. Kathleen) Blanco somewhat. It hurts Mary Landrieu. Whether it's enough to keep them out of office, it's way too early to say that," Howell said. Chervenak said that Mary Landrieu would have a surer shot at re-election had Mitch Landrieu corralled her traditional New Orleans base to become the city's mayor. "Orleans Parish is what put her in office and kept her in office, so I think that if her brother would have won, that would probably have made her base more secure," he said. sixers.nationalreview.com
