| Ice Box Jefferson cruises in runoff |
| 2008-11-05 |
| With his trial on federal corruption charges looming and questions swirling about his effectiveness in Congress, U.S. Rep. William Jefferson cruised to an easy victory Tuesday in the Democratic Party runoff for the 2nd Congressional District. ...and that sez it all. The decisive win over Helena Moreno, a former TV news anchor and political newcomer, ensures Jefferson a spot in the Dec. 6 general election. With two-thirds of the district's voters registered as Democrats, Jefferson seems the hands-down favorite to win a 10th term against four poorly financed opponents with scant name recognition. |

| #5 They ever going to prosecute this turd? How long has this been dragging on? I recall them getting Republicans tried pretty quickly. Bush get off your preppy ass and press the Feds to do their damned job with this scum. Another part of the Bush Epic Fail. |

| #4 Maybe cause the RNC still thinks and operates like this is 1956? And those who want change are vastly outnumbered by those at the polls who are more than happy to have the pols lavish them with bread and games. Why do working girls stay with their pimps? Answer that and you'll know why the 'nice guy' finishes last. |

| #2 Because Republicans are scarce in his district and are among the ones with the moniker, 'scant name recognition'. |

| #1 One of you in the RNC know, have a grasp on why they can't get more $$$ behind some of our candidates and knock off these low hanging fruit scumbags? |
