This may be the actual NADIR of the Louisiana Democratic party.

Jim’s title says it all: “Louisiana Democratic Party Chair Runs Away From Reporters.”  …Well, not quite: the reason why Karen Carter Peterson is running away from reporters is because she claimed yesterday that opposition to mandatory health insurance was based on racism, which is probably not a smart thing to say in Louisiana*.

The video’s hysterical, for given values of hysterical: you don’t really want a local news station describe you as ‘scurrying’ when you flee them.  Or have a black legislator from your own party tell the world that you’re not playing with a full deck.

PS: Fair warning: state parties usually need to get this bad before they hyper-revitalize themselves.  Don’t get cocky, Louisiana Republicans.

*Mind you, being the state Democratic party chair down there isn’t exactly a job that you’d give to your top person, is it? I mean, you’d give it to a veritable genius, but if you don’t have one of those handy then you just find somebody who likes having her own letterhead and just try to maintain an even strain.

  1. State Dems have always been this bad they are just more noticeable now because there are fewer of the sane ones.

    1. Don’t forget the “alternative media” effect ..

      If they still could, the media would have embargoed this story, stuffed it in a 55gal drum, welded the lid on, and dropped it into the marianas trench …
      .
      Now, though, they can only ignore it and hope it doesn’t ruin the crease in their trousers as it tingles its’ way back up their legs…

      1. Up here in Indiana we’ve stomped the Democrats into the dirt, partially because their leader looked like the shorter uglier twin brother of Donald Trump, and partially because the House Dems decided to run off to Illinois, a state that nobody in Indiana likes and generally makes fun of.

        1. (waves) Yeah, that was some of the strangest “tourism” Rockford ever saw.
