this all sounds nice and all but it's months later and we're still waiting on our "caroline fayard loves me" bumper sticker.
Despite what some pundits say is a difficult political environment, there is real potential for a Democratic statewide victory in the 2011 race for Louisiana Secretary of State.
Our recent survey of 700 likely voters in the October 2011 election shows a true toss-up between me and Republican Jim Tucker.
In a head-to-head match-up, I lead Tucker (or similar candidate) 36 to 34 percent with 23 percent undecided.
After allocating the undecided voters by party identification, I maintain a 48 to 44 percent margin over Tucker.
Unlike most recent statewide races in Louisiana—where Democrats faced nearly insurmountable circumstances – the 2011 Secretary of State’s race is quite winnable and will depend heavily on the candidates, their resources, and the quality of their campaigns.

As you may recall, last year I was a little-known outsider who mounted a come-from-behind victory over some very well-funded career politicians to make the run-off in the Lieutenant Governor’s race.
Well this year we are ahead of the game ... Voting is just a few short months away.
Also, be sure to visit

Sincerely,
Caroline Fayard
