Tonight Louisiana residents will go to the polls (again) for the final vote on who will represent Louisiana's 4th congressional district.
The race is between Republican John Fleming (who has a really amazing website btw), and Democrat Paul Carmouche. Sean Oxendine makes the case on The Next Right that this race is an even more important bell weather than the Saxby Chambliss senate race as it is comparable to the string of special elections the GOP lost last spring. Most polls have this race in a dead heat, and while this race is not getting the national attention the Saxby Chambliss senate race recieved, Generation Joshua does have a team of young homeschoolers working on the race. We'll see what happens, and I will post tonight to let y'all know what happens.
Hopefully the GOP can keep winning these special elections.

Another race to watch tonight is Louisiana's 2nd congressional district. This race is between Republican Joseph Cao, and incumbent congressman William Jefferson. In the general election in November, there was a lot of talk about possibly defeating John Murtha. It appears that tonight there is a chance to defeat William Jefferson.
This is not a bell weather race by any means as it is a solidly Democratic congressional district, defeating William Jefferson would be amazing. It would show that Republicans can win in solidly Democrat congressional districts, and it would demonstrate once again that the people of Louisiana will not tolerate corruption.
Check back in tonight for election results.

Will tonights senate results from Georgia impact the way Obama governs?
Leading into today's Senate runoff race in Georgia, Patrick Ruffini postulated that a Saxby win of five or more points would mean that the high Democrat turnout among African Americans and the youth was an anomaly that happened because Obama was at the top of the ticket. He went on to explain how this could mean good news for the Republicans in 2010.
After not gaining leading Jim Martin by three points and not earning 50% of the vote in the November 4th election, Saxby Chambliss cruised to a 15 point win tonight.
Since the elections congressional Democrats have been generally willing to work with Obama and let him call the shots. They understand that his campaign was responsible for their house and senate gains, and have been willing to let him lead as a result.
The question is do tonights election results demonstrate just how big of a bump Obama game downtickets? If they do, will Democrats see the threat they face in 2010, and as a result seek to work more independently of Obama to make sure they get elected?
What do you think?
