Can Obama become more competitive in LA?

With a drive to get more black voters to the polls, will Obama see an increase in chances to win the state? A lot of Obama's campaign is focused on bringing back democratic African American voters in Louisiana, considering the huge loss of this type of voter after Hurricane Katrina. A Louisiana Democratic chairman who is leading this cause says, "the party conducted a $2 million voter registration drive to try to offset the loss of Democratic-voting African-American residents from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina." While the campaign is trying to find the same victory that Bill Clinton had in the state in '96 nd '92, it is not likely that his heavy dependence on the black vote in this state will get him very far (See this website!).
