I sort of like Jay Dardenne, at least more than the others. But he won't be the next governor. David Vitter will. Dardennne will either be in a runoff or Edwards will. Where either will lose. Vitter has way more money to spend than all the rest of the candidates put together. But Vitter will probably be a better governor than Booby Jindal. At least he will probably not spend all of his time traveling.

please do it.

How close does the race have to be for there to be a runoff?

If one candidate gets over 50% of the vote he is elected. Otherwise the top 2 face each other in a runoff
