Maybe. Some Democrats in New Orleans are breaking ranks and backing Cao, the incumbent Republican, instead of getting behind the Obama-endorsed Democrat Cedric "I Don't Work For The State; The State Works For Me" Richmond. Will it be enough to reelect Cao in a few weeks in the heavily Democrat district? Right now that's anybody's guess. But don't be surprised if it happens.
UPDATE 14OCT2010: Besides the endorsements, things may indeed be changing in Cao's favor: The DCCC has pulled funding for Richmond. Public spin is Richmond's is a "safe" Democrat seat, and he therefore doesn't need the cash. But according to this unconfirmed report, the Democrats finally looked in Cedric's closet and, well, even Maxine Waters recoiled. If the Democrats do not retake LA-2, that will be big news indeed.
