FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 10, 2008 Non-Partisan Cook Report Ranks LA-06 Race “Lean Democratic” Baton Rouge , La. – The Cook Political Report , an independent, non-partisan newsletter that analyzes campaigns, today changed the ranking of the Congressional Race in Louisiana 's 6 th District from “Toss Up” to “Lean Democratic”. The Cook Political Report stressed that the ranking change was based on Don Cazayoux's strength as a candidate, writing “Simply put, Cazayoux has come across as a fresher face and a better fit for the district.” “Republicans' biggest problem here is…the wide gulf in candidate quality between Cazayoux, a squeaky clean, NRA-endorsed prosecutor who has built a top-flight, highly professional campaign, and Jenkins, an uncoachable grassroots conservative newsp ap er publisher whose wide name recognition, dating back to his 1996 Senate run, is not all positive,” the Cook Political Report writes. “Don Cazayoux shares the values of the people in his community and will fight for their concerns in Congress – Louisiana voters know this and now the political analysts in Washington see it too,” said Katie Nee, Cazayoux's campaign manager. “Don has shown that he cares about the concerns of middle class families and will be an independent voice to move Louisiana forward.” To visit the Cook Political Report website, visit: http://cookpolitical.com/ . ### |
