re: #69 lightspeed

I thought he might. He won a the seat formerly held by “Dollar” Bill Jefferson, a congressman who is now facing up to 35 years in prison for corruption. His district is heavily democratic and he only won due to the fact that the election was delayed until after the Presidential election last year. If the vote had taken place on the same day as the Presisdential election, he likely would have lost due to higher black turnout. Anyway, he will probably be out next election.

Thanks.
I’m in Louisiana - I’m aware of Cao, and have been watching him. Before he was elected, on his website, he had things about various positions that had me wondering if he was really a Rebublican.
