Jimmy Fahrenholtz has been disqualified from the 2nd Congressional District race, according to Jacques Berry from the La. Sec. of State office.

Fahrenholtz, a Orleans Parish School Board member, said on qualification papers that he did not have any outstanding campaign finance fines from running for school board, however the judge found he does have fines still out against him.

Fahrenholtz entered the race along with a slew of candidates who are seeking to unseat Congressman William Jefferson, who is under federal indictment.

James Carter, D-New Orleans; Troy "C" Carter, D-New Orleans; Jerry Jacobs, I-New Orleans; William Jefferson (i), D-New Orleans; Byron Lee, D-Marrero; Helena Moreno, D-New Orleans; Malik Rahim, Green Party-New Orleans; Cedric Richmond, D-New Orleans; Kenya Smith, D-New Orleans had all qualified to run.

1. If the Repukes can't beat cash-in-the-freezer-guy, they have BIG problems.

Considering that they couldn't beat Texas Congressman Squeezy McFeelpants...

Well, his Repuke opposition started firing a gun at people during a New Year's Eve party... but still.

2. No Democrat is going to beat Jefferson either.
