Subjects
Louisiana -- Elections, Gubernatorial candidates -- Political activity, Racism -- Social aspects, Governors -- Elections, Governors -- Social aspects, Political science
Abstract

The authors contrast the 2002 Senate and 2003 gubernatorial runoffs in Louisiana, noting that the margin and the breadth of victory were greater for a gubernatorial candidate who enjoyed less political resources than her copartisan. The authors argue that the GOP's southern strategy has constrained its ability to diversify its coalition and contributed to the defeat of its nonwhite candidate for governor. Using aggregate parish level data and individual survey responses, the authors demonstrate that the customary polarization of whites in favor of Republican nominees was undermined in the 2003 election. The authors offer some thoughts on the implications of the findings. Keywords: race; gender; elections; Louisiana
