Election night blogging
Posted by Kevin Allman on Sun, Oct 5, 2008 at 3:23 AM
I'm watching Clancy pundit-ize on WWL with Dennis Woltering and Lucy Bustamante, which is fun.
So: Bill Jefferson and Helena Moreno projected in the runoff for the District 2 House seat. (I just talked to a friend -- poll sample of one -- who told me "In that case, I won't be voting." Zoinks.)
Leon Cannizzaro and Ralph Capitelli jockeying for Orleans D.A. (Capitelli gave fulsome congratulations to third-place finisher Jason Williams, obviously looking for an endorsement).
And some fun one-upsmanship and aggressive microphone-jockeying among the local media at the various campaign headquarters, who are rushing the candidates at the podiums. (Cannizzaro snapped: "Get off the stage.")
Thoughts on the races? School board? Bottom of the ticket races? The media? The punditry? Or are you just waiting to see Tina Fey and Queen Latifah impersonate Sarah Palin and Gwen Ifill?

I'll be sitting this run-off out as I did the Dollar Bill-Princess BOLD fiasco in 2006. Yuck.

I think I was mistakenly gerrymandered outta my rightful school board district...but, aside from that, I got nuthin' but a case of tired that I'm taking straight to bed.
The Secretary of State website calls it for Jefferson and Richmond?!?! What gives? http://www400.sos.louisiana.gov:8090/cgibin/?rqstyp=elcpr&rqsdta=10040836 Also, it looks like we have a real turd of a school board this time around. We'll see if they can out-suck the Ellenesse Brooks-Simms-era board.
Clay, I blinked too. Turned out that page was just the Orleans Parish results, where Richmond took second. Add in Jeff Parish and Moreno took it over the top.
