and I have no idea what he's running for

Mayor of the City of Baton Rouge & President of East Baton Rouge Parish

Combined it's just called Mayor-President

If the high school football coach Sid beats Sharon... it would be an upset rivaling when Cao beat Dolla Bill Jefferson to put a Republican in the (at the time only) majority minority House district in Louisiana... and that was when Obama was elected to his 1st term

ETA: a hurricane had pushed the election schedule out of whack... so Jefferson won the primary (but didn't get 50%+1 so he had to go to a runoff) on the day Obama won his 1st term

But the runoff was in December... & Cao won

Ted James is such a fricking spineless pussy.

I would have had some respect for the dude had he backed up months of shite talking broome and endorsed Sid and stuck to his message of BR needing a change…but nope just another shite bag that probably endorsed her for a job and maybe an endorsement in 4 years. Low life.

The true retards though are the republicans that stooped for him “guys he’s our only chance “ well a football coach that got into the race with no fan fare is taking her to the brink. Whoops

Ted James losing was the best thing. He is a racist opportunist that 100% would have ran for governor after being Mayor.

He comes off as Obama level slimy.

I was playing around looking at results from neighboring parishes and noticed that Gonzales is going to be HEAVILY Democrat run. Normally for small town races I kinda disregard party, but what the national Democrats have become, I don't think positively of anyone that decides to associate themselves with that party. Am I wrong?

And those people probably cast their vote for Edwards today. So let's just hope he can pull it out.

Well Gonzales has definitely shifted that way… East bank Donaldsonville with the republicans controlling Saint Amant and Prairieville

Yes. Because the National Democratic Party has entirely different values than local democratic nominees. The black folks that vote democratic are very much republican when it comes to social issues. They are staunchly against anything LGBTQOOWJZNSNKA & abortion.

If the apocalypse were upon us and I was forced to cast a vote for Gary chambers or Ted James, I would vote for Gary’s fat arse.

My voting center near my house has been packed all day and it’s in the St George area so fingers crossed

Hope so. We are right on the StG line but on the BR side. Anyone but her is where I'm at this year
