Yes because he has the most name recognition of any democrat and is built in to have at least 25% support. With so many republicans in the field, there's no way that 2 of them will have more than Edwin.

Paging Tuba...

You stated The Felon will win in a run-off. Are you willing to take a self-ban bet on that statement?

If The Felon wins in a run-off, I will leave this site for 3 months. If he makes the run off and does not win, you leave the site for 2 months.

I figure I give you a month less.

Do you accept?

He might get in a runoff because there are way too many republicans in this race for a single candidate to get a majority but he'll lose in a blowout in the runoff to the republican. WTF was the state GOP doing letting this many candidates get into a race and give a convicted felon the chance to actually win a federal seat?

How's it feel having a convicted felon's nuts in your mouth? I don't think I've ever seen a bigger Edwin Edwards apologist/defender as you are on this board.

Edwin's goal is 20-22%. He doesn't need to get to 27-28. He knows if he can get to 22, he's in the run-off. His biggest issue, politically, is he's not running statewide. Acadiana and New Orleans can't vote for him and that kills him.

Yep. He's going to do well in BR and that can only get you so far in one of the most conservative districts in this state. He's going to lose in a blowout to the republican.

He could win a run-off if a scandal broke on his opponent. He'll need about 15-20% conservative republican type voters in the run-off.

I wouldn't count him out. He'll likely hatch some plan that if elected, he will implement that will benefit them to gain the vote. The man is no political slouch by any means.
