At the beginning of the 2004 presidential election campaign, Louisiana was considered a potential “battleground” state. While George W. Bush had won the Bayou State in 2000, his victory margin of just under eight percent-age points was modest, and the smallest margin of any of the five Deep South states. Given that Bill Clinton had carried the state twice in the 1990s, and, given a Democratic advantage in party identification, Democratic strategists felt that the Kerry/Edwards ticket could at least make the Bush-Cheney ticket spend time and valuable resources defending the state, but it was not to be.References
