How is the EBR Mayor President race looking?

I went to early vote on Saturday. Just an observation, but there didn't seem to be a lot of (Bodie) white voters in line.

Mayor Wisk Broom, get used to it.

If this is true, not very good from my perspective. This is from the Baton Rouge Business Report: " Early voting turnout statistics point to strong support for Democrat Sharon Weston Broome in the Baton Rouge mayoral election, but an uphill battle for Democratic candidate Foster Campbell in his bid for U.S. Senate ahead of the Dec. 10 runoff election, says political consultant Roy Fletcher."

Does this mean I will have to use 2 On Your Side to get any goddamn attention from the mayor?

I voted for Kip in 2012.

What the early vote in East Baton Rouge showed is White still has an opportunity to win, though it isn’t a perfect one.

White voters made up 56.7 percent of the early voting in EBR, whereas black voters were 40.3 percent. That’s a pretty good spread. The party breakdown of the early vote wasn’t all that good for White, though – Democrats made up 53 percent of the early voters, whereas Republicans were only 34 percent. EBR has lots of white Democrats who reliably vote Republican, and those tend to be older and live in areas which are Bodi White territory – Baker, Zachary, Central and Greenwell Springs, for example. But given that the voter registration spread between D’s and R’s is 48-28 in East Baton Rouge and the spread for the early vote was almost identical at 53-34, he has some work to do on turnout.

That said, we’re told Broome’s camp blew an enormous amount of their stack on a turnout operation for Saturday’s early voting – and that operation pumped the percentage of the black vote from around 37 percent to the 40.3 percent it turned out to be. We’ll find out whether that was the peak for the black vote, or if they’ve got an equal turnout operation for Election Day this Saturday.

Go ahead and give us Broome, we'all get st George passed next time around.
