I get Louisiana stations and I've been seeing a ton of Rispone ads lately on the networks.

Dude is Maga is seems, he mentions Trump support in damn near every ad.

Nah, but he'll take votes away from Edwards.

Likely Edwards and Abraham in runoff.

No not really.... I mean unless Ralph steps in it which he won't he is wasting millions of his own money.... Ralph Abraham is your next governor.... Despite what south of I-10 says

Lil’ Ross Perot obviously has too much money. His ads are cringeworthy. It will be Doc vs JBE.

Seems like he’s running a national campaign to win a job in Baton Rouge... like it seems to be mostly federal issues that a Governor of LA has no purview of.

I donated to Rispone but his ads blew it. I think he could be a good governor and his heart is in the right place. I wish he’d give his money and let Abraham run with this. I think we can beat Edwards but it won’t be with Rispone. I’ll be donating to Abraham soon.

I just hope Abraham has a better ad man than Rispone.

He has absolutely zero shot. It's sad this is the best the Republicans can put out in Louisiana, but then again the job of Governor isnt a good job to take right now

Here’s how the LA governor’s election will play out:

The general election will see Edwards get around 48%-49% with Abraham getting around 29% and Rispone getting about 20%-21%.

Runoff between Edwards and Abraham will give us Governor Abraham after he beats JBE by 2 or 3 percentage points.

It’s going to be close but JBE won’t win re-election.

If the GOP had their act together and coerce Abraham or Rispone to drop out now, then I think there would be a much better chance of beating JBE in the primary. There's enough others in the primary, (Landrieu & Dantzler) to keep JBE under 50%.

Not so sure that JBE will lose in the runoff.

Correction: changed "general" to "primary"

Disagree. Rispone and Abraham both need to run. That will ensure a runoff. No way you want 1 republican in this race. I thing the previously stated stats are about right. Edward runs 1st with 45-48% in primary. Loses to Abraham 53-47 in general.

Lol. MOAR Rispone threads.

It used to be that people were shitting on him about name recognition but I don’t think that’s a problem anymore.

Everyone keeps talking about Rispone on the OT and poliboard and Abraham is getting to the point where he’ll have to pay people to start threads about him.

Brian Kemp ran the same Trump sycophantic campaign in Georgia; people thought he was an idiot and look at him as Governor now.

Any publicity is good publicity. It’s worse when people are not talking about you like nobody is talking about Abraham right now.

We better get out and vote. And hope the Republicans for Edwards are done smoking crack.
