[lies and propaganda]

20. i had no clue that was today!

wow, cant wait for the results.

[Ammonium]

21. Wow Nagin's going to lose...

What is Landrieau's position on the issues? I was under the impresson Nagin was a conservative dem since he use to be a republican.

[diamondsndust]

22. I hope Nagin pulls it out....

I don't know anything about either of them, but I remember hearing Nagin one day on TV when he went off on the reporters with something like "NO MORE DAMNED INTERVIEWS! GET US SOME HELP DAMMIT"!! or something to that effect. I liked his no BS attitude then, but thats all I know about him.. know even less about Landrieau.

Sometimes you do have to go with a gut feeling.

[pitohui]

32. then you are on the wrong site, this is DEMOCRATIC underground

nagin is the republican candidate

as a practical matter all candidates for new orleans mayor register as democrats but nagin is a life long republican who endorsed * and jindal

he killed this city as dead as anyone else

landrieu is the lifelong democrat from a family of lifelong democrats

there isn't even any choice at all

if nagin wins, it is a triumph for *co and a tragedy for every person killed and who will be killed in the future

nagin's NEW hurricane plan is NO shelter of last resort for ANYONE AT ALL

[qanda]

34. When did Nagin become the Republican candidate?

I must have missed something.

On Edit: I just read your post more carefully and must have missed one of the sentences the first time around. I guess I really did miss something. :)

[diamondsndust]

54. naw, I'm not on the wrong site...

what part of "I dont know much about him except for one little blurb I happened to catch on a TV one day" didn't you catch? Sorry, I've been involved in too much real life problems to worry about how candidates register in a state that I'll never live in and won't affect my life any. I hardly ever watch TV, and when I do, it's not the talking heads on the news stations. My only political concern is how to get this criminal regime out of the White House and out of power. I fear for the future of my kids, whom I do not want growing up in the dictatorship that our great Country is headed towards.

Thanks for the enlightenment though, that's exactly why I'm here... to learn what's going on around the rest of our Nation.

[Ediacara]

23. 43% in | Landrieau 52% | Nagin 48%

[Spazito]

24. That's weird, wdsu is reporting the figures almost in reverse

with Nagin ahead by 55% to Landrieu 45% with 33% reporting. Which report is accurate I wonder.

[Ediacara]

26. Don't know

The figures I'm getting are from a live feed on channel 4 linked in the OP. The TV station has 43% reporting last I checked.

[Spazito]

28. I think wwltv seems more accurate, it is reporting a higher

percentage reporting than wdsu. It is odd though, the figures at 33% reporting were in almost exact reverse with Nagin showing leading on wdsu and Landrieu leading on wwltv. Interesting.

[paparush]

25. Sounds Like a *ahem* - "Clear Mandate"

[wellstone dem]

29. The difference is only about 1400 votes

seems very close.

[Spazito]

This looks like it could be a real nail-biter ending

only 4% separating them.

[speedoo]

36. Anyone know if the absentee ballots are in these figures?

Nagin could get a big boost from absentee ballots which are supposedly mostly black. About 25,000 absentee ballots cast, supposedly 2/3 to 3/4 black.

Nagin should not be re-elected. Much of the blame for Katrina is on his head. Plus, he's a jerk.

[Spazito]

40. The absentee votes are showing 0 on the SoS site so it looks

like they have not yet been added in.

[reality based]

43. State Rep. Marchand in the Nagin camp says the 9th ward is largely out

and should put Nagin over. Interviewed on WDSU.

[DoYouEverWonder]

30. The seesaw just tipped the other way again

Mitch Landrieu (D) 9,404 49%
Ray Nagin (D) 9,744 51%


This is great. What a horse race.

[wellstone dem]

31. But these are a much lower vote total

then has been reported.

[Awsi Dooger]

33. This link has Nagin ahead, 53-47

http://www.sos.louisiana.gov:8090/cgibin/?rqstyp=elcpr&rqsdta=05200636

[Spazito]

37. I can't find the % reporting on the SoS site, I wonder if they are

slower reporting than wwltv?

Edited to add: It seems the SoS site is a bit slower reporting, they now have Landrieu ahead 52 - 48.

[Awsi Dooger]

39. The raw vote total seems higher on sos

I have no idea about percentage. Landrieu just took the lead

[Ediacara]

35. 50% in | Landrieau 51% | Nagin 49%

[reality based]

38. Someone from the Landrieu camp being interviewed on WDSU

says the exit polls are showing a very tight race. She thinks Landrieu will win.

[wellstone dem]

41. was 50-50 with I think 52% of vote in but now

is 52-48 with I think 55% of vote.

[DoYouEverWonder]

42. Now it's Landrieu - ahead by a nose

Mitch Landrieu (D) 21,082 51%
Ray Nagin (D) 19,962 49%

This is the site I'm tracking:

http://www.nola.com/elections/returns_ro.ssf

[reality based]

44. SOS and NOLA sites have Nagin slightly ahead with 56% in

WWL with the same percentage finds an extra 2000 votes for Landrieu.

[wellstone dem]

45. 51 49, Nagin ahead with 83% in

[SPKrazy]

46. Go Landrieu!!!!!!

[Spazito]

47. Wow, the absentee vote split almost evenly!

Precinct "Mitch" Landrieu C. Ray Nagin
Absentee 12,336 12,512

[Catherine Vincent]

48. I hope Nagin loses.

So a real Democrat can take office.

[jumpoffdaplanet]

53. Well I'm glad he won

Anything that pisses off Faux News is ok with me.

And the Landrieau family already control too much there.

[reality based]

49. La. Secretary of State says all absentee votes are in. Nagin won

them by about 60 votes.

[Reciprocity]

50. Thanks all, for keeping us informed.

[reality based]

51. WWL apparently is calling it for Nagin

[Spazito]

52. Yep, looks like Nagin has by about 4% difference

Was a nail biter till the end though.
