Louisiana Turns Solidly Republican After Katrina

After the sweeping Louisiana gubernatorial victory of Rep. Bobby Jindal (R), The Economist predicts a grim future for Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) and other state Democrats' electoral prospects due to population erosion after Hurricane Katrina.

"When [Landrieu] was last elected, in 2002, she won in large part thanks to a landslide in her home city, heavily Democratic New Orleans. Whereas the city's predilections haven't changed dramatically, its size has, and its electoral significance along with it. In 2002 almost 133,000 New Orleanians voted in the Senate race. On October 20th less than 60% of that number turned up at the polls, a sign of the city's post-Katrina shrinkage. Ms Landrieu won New Orleans by almost 80,000 votes in 2002, twice her overall margin of victory. This time, that was more votes than all the candidates got combined in the city that was once the alpha and the omega of Louisiana politics."
