    Louisiana's primaries tonight are the latest myth-buster for something Democrats (particularly on the left) tell themselves: If turnout's high, they win. Turnout has already blown past the 2015 primary and the result is 1) a bunch of GOP lege gains 2) likely gov runoff.

        I wouldn't scale this one state primary nation-wide, but there continues to be very little evidence that a hidden working class left-wing vote, and more evidence of the GOP turning out its intermittent voters for special/off-year races.

        Shocked that the racists in Louisiana voted for racists.

        If they had done so, then Edwards would have run.

        Not too much. JBE has been easy to work with. It’s general anti-Dem anger, and our economic/employment numbers are odd right now. You can make it look great or terrible using honest numbers. There’s actually been a lot of discussion about how boring the race has been this year.
