What do you call a diminutive 5’ 2” Vietnamese refugee who runs for congress as a Republican in New Orleans’ heavily black, heavily Democratic urban 2nd congressional district that has not elected a Republican candidate since 1890?
You call him Anh Cao, Dragon Slayer!
Despite the problems of scandal-ridden Democrat House incumbent William Jefferson, Jefferson was supposed to be a shoe-in for re-election. Speaking of New Orleans voters, Charles E. Cook, a Louisiana native who is the publisher of The Cook Political Report, stated, “They don’t generally turn out candidates with ethics problems.”
Attention PA GOP: Cao did not moderate his pro-life stands in order to win in a district where Republicans are heavily outnumbered by Democrats. I understand that at a recent high-level state GOP meeting, there were concerns voiced that Republicans need to “moderate” their message in order to win minorities. Note that Louisiana’s 2nd Congressional District is 64% black.
When asked about his priorities, Cao said, "The only thing I am certain of is that I am anti-abortion." Hear hear!
