If you scroll down this list of Louisiana political tidbits, under the section on the possibility that Rep. Melancon (D-LA) wil run for governor (a rumor I've heard is being taken seriously), you'll see numbers in the race for the 2nd congressional district, provided by a well-known Louisiana pollster. Simply put, Jefferson's numbers (25%) are atrocious. It looks like he can easily be pushed into a run-off and you'd have to think that whoever is in it with him might have a good chance of winning. Keep in mind that Louisiana's primary is everyone else's general election day, so we probably will not know the who's going to fill this seat in the next Congress until after a run-off in December.
