Is this the end of Dollar Bill Jefferson?

[infrogmation]

With very low turnout, it looks like Cao is going to pull it off and be the new 2nd District congressman. Good riddence to the wasted talent of $ Bill Jefferson. I hope we haven't booted a corrupt Democrat for a corrupt Republican-- the prominence of Jay $#%*ing Batt in the Cao campaign worries me. Cao will have to do an outstanding job and keep in mind he's representing a district with large Democratic majority or he'll be out in 2 years. Should be interesting.

Cao proclaimed victory and Jefferson conseeded. Though official results (http://www400.sos.louisiana.gov:8090/cgibin/?rqstyp=elcms2&rqsdta=120608) have Cao with just shy of 50%+1 at 49.55%. Interesting Malik Rahim (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malik_Rahim) got only 2.81%. Two months ago he was better known than Cao except for in the New Orleans Vietnamese community.
