    Louisiana Voters Divided Among 217 Political Parties The Louisiana Secretary of State carefully records the political party voters choose when they register to vote, which is how Louisiana's voter roll came to include 217 political parties, 86 which have only one member.  Included in that list is the Bull Moose Party, with its five members, 12 Jedis, 20  members of the Banana Party, one Monarchist, 16 Whigs, two Cajuns and a list of equally amusing party choices.  Read Gannett's Mike Hasten's hilarious account of those who list their party registration as "other" at the link below.

Landrieu's Washington Connections Can Aid New Orleans' Recovery

The pairing of Democratic Lt. Gov. and now New Orleans mayor-elect Mitch Landrieu and his sister, U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu, is expected to create a hot line connection from New Orleans to Washington that officials say could significantly help the city’s hurricane recovery.

“They’ve been talking about it over the dinner table. They’ve lived it,” Walter Leger, a member of the Louisiana Recovery Authority, said Monday of the recovery issues. “They’ll have the chance to see the solutions in a similar way.”
