Congratulations to Congressman-elect Joseph Cao, who sent Dollar Bill Jefferson packing tonight, in a D+28 seat. The GOP can win when it runs everywhere. -Patrick

Louisiana's penchant for electing minority Republicans gains steam as Joseph Cao is projected to defeat Rep. William Jefferson in the New-Orleans based 2nd district.  With 391 out of 492 precincts reporting, Cao is comfortably ahead 53-43.  Cao will be the first Vietnamese-American elected to Congress.  He is the third Asian-American Republican elected to the House (Saiki-HI, Kim-CA preceeded him).
