Factoids

1. Incumbent Att General Charles Foti failed to make the runoff. Believe me, he certainly earned that.



2. John Geroges narrowly edged Jindal in a badly fractured Orleans Parish vote. New Orleans was a non-factor is a race that was largely about how much the rest of the state hates New Orleans. More on that later.



3. 50 votes separated Jalila Jefferson from David Williams putting her into the runoff for the 5th District Seanate seat. That's tight.



4. 310 votes separated sports talk radio dork Kaare Johnson from Tommie Vassel. In fact 4,569 souls cast a vote for Johnson to be their City Council Person. Wow.



5. Meanwhile 2,622 souls cast their votes for Kimberly Butler. In the 2006 Mayor's race, Butler received 793 votes for Mayor of Disneyland and was the overwhelming winner in that year's Chocolate City Awards.



6. 512 souls cast their At-Large vote for Mama D. That is just Dynamite!



7. Bobby Jinal received 699,672 votes for Governor. Mitch Landrieu received 701,777 votes for Lt. Governor. This is Ashley's favorite stat.

There will be time to play with these trifles later. But today is Saints-Falcons and I'm going over to the Dome to get my badly needed Bloody Mary.
