re: Are voters sending Landry a message?

Posted by dovehunter on 5/20/26 at 4:58 pm to CreoleTigerEsq

People don’t trust the amendments and wording. Not sure it was much to do with Landry. Now IF Fleming beats Letlow THAT would be a message to Landry. Odds for that are long.

re: What’s next for St George?

All St.,George ever wanted was a self determined school system. If the powers that be had allowed that 20 years ago none of this mess would have even occurred. Zachary, Baker and Central were allowed to form their own systems because it's common sense to keep the education as local as possible. They did it pre the arrival of Obama and the ultra racism that dominates all of politics now.

It totally makes no sense that a statewide amendment be necessary to form a new school district. The money follows the kids. The more kids the more money.

St. George would never have become a city if they had gotten a school system they could run themselves. I feel bad for them as our government and leaders failed them for the sake of identity politics.

re: If Letlow Ends Up w/Approximately 45% of the Vote, Does A Run-Off Make Sense?

A lot of the Cassidy votes were D votes. They wanted him in the runoff and would have elected him as they know their guy can’t win the general. The turnout will be low as the D’s know they are beat now. Thank God C came in 3rd. It would have been a dog fight otherwise.

Fleming is my choice just due to experience. But ABC has a nice ring to it. Fleming is probably far more conservative but Letlow will do. We have had much worse options. Mostly great news for LA and America. Be thankful tonight except for St. George. Racism and a general no attitude won the day on that one.

Those poor folks in St. George deserve to have their own schools. Having to pass a statewide amendment to have you own local school is just bad government,. We need to do better and create a way for common sense to rule the day.

Yep. Worried the D’s would declare R and vote for C. They didn’t think about that soon enough i guess. They had their chance. Cassidy’s only chance and thank god it didn’t happen.

Exactly, Cassidy had to be 1st primaried. If he runs second he could make the general and that would mean a D vs a D in LA. Imagine that? The D’s always out scheme us. Hopefully Cassidy was so unpopular it won’t happen.

You could vote but you had to declare a party to vote in a party primary. I’m no party. I wanted to make sure I voted against Cassidy. I checked a form declaring as an R. I voted for Fleming. If I had stayed no party i could have only voted on the amendments. Look at the totals. The democratic and republican primaries totals are way less than the amendments totals. Many people stayed no party i assume.

It makes sense i guess. If you don’t care who makes the runoffs and will vote for a party in the general i guess you can stay no party but it sure limits your choices. I guess by being no party you could change at the last minute and declare whatever primary you choose.

Honestly I was worried a bunch of D’s would declare R at the voting time and vote for Cassidy because he would be a D if reelected.

There will be a run off. Letlow looks good but things can change. She's the favorite for sure.

In all these SEC gams where we scored 8 and lost I'd like to know how many we walked or hit by pitch. Anybody know?

Some enterprising young person should start a business collecting this stuff. They would do well and probably improve the environment.

The districts need to make geographic sense. You and your neighbor should have the same rep. These crazy district lines were done for nefarious reasons. They shouldn't be drawn to favor any race, party or religious interest.

The new map looks reasonable.

re: Just Voted. Voted For Fleming. I Think He's Better Than Letlow, But Not 100% Positive.

Posted by dovehunter on 5/8/26 at 2:00 pm to saints5021

I’ve met both. Julia is a nice lady. Fleming has the experience and conservative lean I prefer and trust. We voted for Fleming on Monday. I pray he wins.

If this Political message board is any indication Fleming should win. I’m expecting him to get just enough to run 1st.

I doubt it's even close to the national debt but it's multi billions. The good that could be done with that money would stimulate the economy to the point that we could run a surplus.

Just pave the damn roads, build the bridges, improve our infrastructure, lower taxes.
