"The last of the Louisiana state election numbers are in, and it's not pretty for the Democrats.
Not only does its moderate Democratic governor, John Bel Edwards, face a runoff, as noted here, but the state Senate has taken a supermajority.
And a whole bunch of key state offices went squarely to Republicans.
Funny how the press isn't covering this much.

But Guy Benson at Townhall is, and he found a Democratic Party "decimated":
Among statewide office-holders, the incumbent GOP Lieutenant Governor (68 percent), Attorney General (66 percent), Treasurer (60 percent, and Agricultural Commissioner (58 percent) were all re-elected without the need for a run-off, under the state's 'jungle primary'-style system. It also appears that the solid Republican majorities in both state legislative chambers will remain intact — with the GOP expanding its Senate advantage into super-majority territory by picking up a pair of Democratic seats:
...And not only did the Republicans take a Senate supermajority, but they almost snapped away the state House, too...
...This makes the whole thing sound like a wave election, with a big warning to the Left for 2020.
And that ought to be big news — a warning to the impeachment-obsessed Beltway Democrats that the voters aren't buying into their repeated stunts to unseat President Trump.
The lack of press coverage of what ought to be a front-page story almost seems delusional.
Trump has noticed that one:
The Media is not talking about the big Republican victory last night in Louisiana where a sitting Democrat Governor was forced into a runoff by not getting 50%. Big upset! Now @EddieRispone, who will be a great Governor, will win!
