A Democrat The GOP Tied to Barack Obama Wins In Louisiana GOP Stronghold.
Here's the news report excerpt:
"A Louisiana Democrat captured a House seat held by Republicans for the previous 33 years, defeating a former GOP state legislator yesterday in a special election that Republicans tried to turn into a referendum on Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.)
With all precincts reporting, State Rep. Donald J. Cazayoux Jr. had 49 percent of the vote to Woody Jenkins's 46 percent, overcoming a barrage of ads from GOP committees that tried to paint Cazayoux as an ally of Obama, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, and of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)."
Is this a harbinger of things to come or just a political anomaly?
Time will tell, I guess.

That's called comeuppance. People aren't tolerating race-baiting any more, GOP (and Clinton!)
ABSOLUTELY, but you conveniently excuse Democrats -- unless if Clintons represent the party!
