Because Hurricane Gustav pushed back Louisiana’s primaries from September to this Saturday (be sure to check SSP for all your liveblogging needs), House candidates had to file yet another pre-primary fundraising report with the FEC, this one covering the period from August 18th through September 14th.

All numbers, of course, are in thousands.
The King of Pop and Republican pretender Bill Cassidy have yet to file in LA-06, but we’ll update this post accordingly when they do.
Check out the mad money that Jim Harlan is spending in the deep-red LA-01. He’s spent $790K to date.
..we’ll manage to dump Jefferson this time?
Will hope for a runoff against the lone white candidate, Moreno, who is getting assistance from some U.S. Senator Diaper Dave Vitter supporters. He can probably beat Moreno in a runoff for the Dem nomination and any Republicans in the general election.
