    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.

Bitter Council Race in New Orleans Not Quite Over -- Winner Susan Guidry Expresses Regret Over Tone of Opponent's Campaign
Opponents Susan Guidry and Jay Batt have not spoken since Saturday's night election of Guidry to the Council District seat Batt once held, and Guidry has offered no olive branch to her rival who outspent her four-to-one, investing over $450,000 in an attempt to regain his seat.  Batt issued a short written note of congratulations Saturday night but did not call Guidry, who appears to still be stinging from accusations by Batt of race baiting.
