re: Does Edwin Edwards make a run-off?

He's pretty much a sure bet to make the runoff. With such a crowded field, I'm thinking 27-28 should get him in, and there are that many democrats/stupid people out there where he will hit that number.

There are two things that will happen:

1) Him running will help Mary, and vice versa, as far as turnout in the runoff. He won't win the runoff, but he'll turn out Dem votes that might stay home otherwise.

2) He'll get a ton of national press, which he will certainly enjoy.
