re: Let's talk EBR Mayor Race

Even though his council district overlaps BR and St. George, the race is going to come down to whether or not the white people of BR are going to vote in protest against someone who also represents people living in St. George. The black vote is going to be monolithic behind the black candidates. That's a given. But the parish as a whole still has slightly more white residents than black residents. Assuming Wicker and Broome would split the black/democrat vote AND there are no real "spoilers" to siphon off white/republican votes from Wilson, then he COULD win in the general election...if the white BR proper voters get behind him.

The anti-St. George white BR voters got Broome elected the first time. Maybe they thought Broome would just be a continuation of a relatively good Kip Holden tenure. Four years late with St. George already having been passed and Broome CLEARLY being no Kip, do they change their tune?
