So now what about Joseph Cao (R-LA)?

Now that Stupackers are appeased. Not that we need Cao, but his district is very Democratic and pro-Obama.

1. I read that Obama had called him, but he'll be a 'no'. How come

his district elect him if it's so Democratic?

[NYC Democrat]

2. he was running against the rep with 90'000 $ in his freezer.

I think his name is William Jefferson correct me if im wrong.

On the other hand, Mitch Landrieu (D) was recently elected mayor, trouncing the repukes by a HUGH1! margin. :)

11. According to local news, he is getting lots of angry reactions here.

He is my rep and this area is about 90%-95% democratic. He voted for the first version, but said he wouldn't for this one because "it open the road for more abortions," whatever that means. Lots of people are quite angry with him.
