For those of us who did live in Louisiana at the time, it was kind of big effin deal.

I was a senior in high school in Baton Rouge. My integrated public skrewl decided it would be a great idea to have a mock election. If Duke had won the mock election, I was going to call in sick the next day for fear of riots. The following April was the Rodney King riots in Cali (do you remember that? do you remember anything?).

I was extemely happy to be a freshman at LSU that fall and far away from public high school in EBR.

Just be glad enough people voted for the crook.

It was kinda important.
