The Republican National Committee is pouring another $1 million into the Louisiana governor’s race ahead of Saturday’s runoff, doubling their investment
The Republican National Committee is pouring another $1 million into the Louisiana governor’s race ahead of Saturday’s runoff — a move that comes amid mounting GOP concerns about losing a second major election in a conservative state in as many weeks.
The RNC has spent $2 million and deployed 60 paid staffers to try to unseat Edwards, a prime GOP target given the heavy Republican tilt of the state. The committee’s latest spending is for final get-out-the vote efforts, according to a party official. The RNC is closely aligned with the president’s political operation.
“Clearly Democrats are more energized than they were in the primary,” said John Couvillon, a Louisiana-based pollster who typically works with Republicans. “I think the odds are better for Edwards in the runoff than I thought they were on primary night,” said Couvillon, who called the early voting results “fairly bad” for Rispone.
