19. How is this stuff going over in Louisiana?

Any recent polls, newspaper editorials, man in the street interviews, etc.? Those home-town voters are the ones who could have some significant influence on these pols, although my guess is that, at least for Johnson, what I assume to be a behind-the-scenes threat of blackmail outweighs all other considerations.
