That gerrymandering wasn't optional. It was mandated by the VRA and approved by the DOJ.

I did to and he made a great showing for not spending much money but he is going to pull some out of New Orleans and that is going to be tough.

Since the district will always go Dem, might as well have the one that will be the best dressed on Seersucker Day!!

Couldn't we come up with better districts by using MSA's and population density maps?

What is funny is the dems like to gerrymander majority black district while also spreading section 8 housing everywhere.

How can the black folk best serve their liberal massas?

Kip wore a Haw-why-an shirt to qualify. Cause he was there to party. The GMOAT

A few years the Daily Show made fun of the 6th District for being a White Conservative Super District. They showed the map as a punch line and the joke was supposed to be how terrible white Republicans are for making this district where it would be impossible for a Democrat to win. It was particularly agrivating because there was the good ole 2nd District right there in the middle, plain as day, running through every black community between Baton Rouge and New Orleans East. One doesn't exist with out the other. The bit was all over social media for a few days.

If Kip wants a shot he needs to cater to the petrochem industries along the river. Cedric hasn't been the best for them.

I might have to give ole Kip a shot because of this. This industry runs through my parish on both sides of the river and employs a lot of my family and friends.

Maybe Kip could annex some of EBR Parish to have a better chance?
