#1 He has not been convicted of any crime, nor even formally charged, despite over two years of investigation. Because of that, many people assume the stories of his corruption are just that - stories.
I want to know what the hold-up us? Why has he not been charged? Does he have some dirt on those who would be doing the charging? Are they still rolling back other lines of investigation? Did they just want to see him re-elected in order to embarass the Dems (not that embarassing them is possible?)
It was not strictly a racial election - he received 21% of the white vote, and his opponent is also black.

#4 No Eric, the slogan was 'Vote for the Crook, It's Important.' And the choice was between Edwin Edwards and David Duke. Much as I don't care for Karen Carter, she's neither a Duke nor an Edwards. Jefferson seems to come pretty close to an Edwards, but without the panache.
