The Effect of Term Limits on the 2011 Legislative Elections

Posted on February 18th, 2010 by JMC Enterprises

Historically, the Democrats had strong majorities in both houses of the Louisiana Legislature. That began to change starting in 1995. At that time, the GOP tidal wave of 1994, which was part of a larger anti-Clinton tidal wave across the South, finally reached Louisiana. That tidal wave was further augmented by a FBI gambling probe [...]

Oscar’s Thoughts On The Super Bowl, Etc.

Posted on February 8th, 2010 by Oscar

This column marks the debut of Oscar, TheHayride.com’s resident voracious rodent and all-around pestilential influence. We want it known from the beginning that any relationship between what the little guy says and the editorial position of TheHayride.com staff is completely coincidental – were it not for certain contractual and/or economic factors unfortunately in play we [...]

Republicans Still Timid, Grouchy At D.C. Mardi Gras Confabs

Posted on January 22nd, 2010 by macaoidh

Last night, the Mystick Krewe of Louisianians held their annual cocktail party in advance of this weekend’s Mardi Gras balls, and The Hayride sent spies out to gather political tidbits and rumors at the event.

Vitter Takes Commanding Lead On Melancon In Rasmussen Poll

Posted on January 19th, 2010 by macaoidh

Per Rasmussen:
Incumbent Republican David Vitter now holds an 18-point lead over his likeliest Democratic opponent, Congressman Charlie Melancon, in Louisiana’s race for the U.S. Senate, suggesting for now at least that concerns about the national Democratic agenda are outweighing those about Vitter’s 2007 link to a prostitution ring.
