Lol, it's "hack material" for me to point out that the governor is a democrat, the mayor of the biggest city is a democrat, only like 3 of their last 30 governors have been republicans, and one of them was Buddy Roemer who started the young turks, Bill Clinton won the state both times he ran?
There is no "token governor from the other party", 3 of their last 5 governors have been democrats going back 30 years, and they had like 1 republican in the early 80s for a single term, and straight democrats before that for over 100 years. New Orleans has had nothing but democrat mayors for literally 150 years. The results are not encouraging.
You realize they had straight Democrats back then because the Democrats were a conservative party right?
Is Maryland a red state because they have a Republican governor? The makeup of the state legislature tells you where the state is at politically, not whoever happens to be the governor.
Just to be clear, Louisiana's governor is pro life and very conservative for a Democrat. That's why he was able to win there.
