Re: "There hasn't been a republican senator elected in Louisiana in 150 years." >>> Correct... but the record held just barely this, and the previous, election cycle. Like much of the rest of the country, the Republican/Democrat divide is pretty close to a tie percentage-wise. >>> As to 'no Republican Senators' in LA: >>> Louisiana has the second highest percentage of Black population of all the States... that might have something to do with no Republican Senators so far (it also has it's 'French Arcadian' past as a distinguishing characteristic. It is the only State in the Union who's laws are derived from the Napoleonic Code... instead of English Common Law). >>> On the other-hand, Mississippi is the only State with a higher percentage of Black population... and they - as we all know - have Senators from the 'Grand Old Party'.
