Bubba Gives Voice to Mary Landrieu

Late mischief in Bayou country. Plus: John Edwards awarded Tony.
p> BAYOU A VOTER? br> Bill Clinton and Al Gore may not be physically in Louisiana trying to bail out Sen. Mary Landrieu 's campaign, but a lot of behind the scenes, national Democratic Party types are working hard for her. The biggest name to surface is that of Donna Brazile , a native of Louisiana, who has been working to rally the troops in New Orleans and other urban centers where the black vote is critical to Democratic hopes. /p>

"With the election falling on a Saturday, it's going to take extra effort to get the vote out for us," says a DNC staffer working in Baton Rouge. "This whole thing seems rigged to go Republican. They are much more motivated."

The weekend voting aside, Republicans are already getting ready for Florida 2000-like shenanigans at polling places.

According to the DNC source, the party has already lined up a number of "volunteer" drivers to get voters to the polls for a fee of $5 per voter. "This is standard Louisiana politicking," says the source. It's how Landrieu won last time out.
