I went with Graves. Admittedly, I consulted with a couple of friends on this because I hadn't followed the candidates closely. All I know is Lenar Whitney seems like everything wrong with the Republican Party and Deitzel had a post on his website talking about Ameirca being prepared for an EMP attack, so he seems kinda nutty. Sure wasn't going to vote for someone convicted of felonious political corruption. Who did you go with?

Rufus deserves some love.

Rufus Craig because he is a Libertarian. I went to his website first to see his stance of various things before voting and it was like I wrote it myself.

the only thing i heard out of graves was "repeal Obamacare, and get america back on track"
i refuse to vote for anyone who wants to waste more time trying to appeal obama care. even if they get the votes he will veto it. move on and do something else that might actually help the american people out!

I went with Dietzel because he is the only one that bothered to send someone to my house to ask for my vote.

Claitor mainly because he is not some government bureaucrat and his name is not Edwards.

Claitor because he has experience already in Louisiana's state senate. He has a law degree and graduated from LSU and tries his best to help them out. Dietzel is too young and has no political experience. Graves did not graduate from college and the college he attended was alabama. He seems more like a career politician and a yes man.

Claitor.
It was between him and Craig. Since who comes in second is key, I decided the pragmatic choice was to vote for the guy who might actually win. He's struck me as having enough of an independent streak to not by into some of the more foolish conservative positions and has made a focus on helping the small business. Graves appears to have the political savvy to be effective, but I have concerns about what interests he will really be working for. Hence landing on Claitor. I'm glad there were three decent choices in the field.

Dan Claitor.
Graves resume is almost purely political patronage.
