GOP One for Two in the Bayou

Reading the early results it appears the GOP held onto Louisiana's First CD - special election to replace now Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) - by a substantial margin.

The 6th CD (Baton Rouge area) was narrowly won by the Dems but just a hair over 1 percentage point.

UPDATE: It appears this Baton Rouge CD was a GOP seat for a number of years. The "refugees" of corrupt Democrat New Orleans who lost their Orleans parish homes to Katrina settled in large numbers in the Baton Rouge area. In essence it tipped the scales just slightly into the Dems favor.
