Louisiana Democrats Know How To Get Buses Moving, When It's Important

Like, for example, when they need to get voters to the polls or lose their jobs:

....a thousand people all were part of the push that got nearly 186,000 voters to New Orleans polls on Election Day and gave Democrat Mary Landrieu a U.S. Senate victory.

...it was Morial's get-out-the-vote teams that won the day for Landrieu...

For instance, when the management team got word at 3:15 p.m. Tuesday that a GOP tracking poll showed Jenkins ahead, it was time for an instant parade. "Within 45 minutes, we arranged a motorcade," Tucker said. "We found Mary and Marc, got school buses for workers and sound trucks with music and put on a parade to flush out our voters."

Landrieu and Morial waved from campaign manager Norma Jane Sabiston's convertible..."We moved them into the major housing project areas blowing horns and playing New Orleans music..."
