I'd like to know who these "many people" are, excluding anyone who lives in what would be St George.

It's a place I like to call "North Louisiana". Kip will have a VERY tough go of it in the rural areas just because of the color of his skin. I was living there when Jindal and Blanco were competing for Gov and was astounded at how many people said they were voting for Blanco because they "ain't votin' fer no sand-n****r". It's sad, but true.

The best thing Kip could do in North La would be to not have his face on mailers.

On top of that, Nungesser still has name recognition which -for something like the Lt Gov race- goes a long way. The voters may not know who Nungesser is, but they'll remember that they've seen the name somewhere and don't remember any negatives associated with it.
