All Republican-led, at least as of the news article I read this morning.

As gundmc implied[1] it's probably best to wait unto after the election when looking for signals of credibility from the other party.

It's be foolish to just the merits of the case merely on that now.

That's a good point. Right now it's unclear whether the Dem AGs really do reject the suit or whether they just don't want to add legitimacy pre-election.

Did sound an awful lot like they thought the suit was ill-timed and half-baked, though. I might have been misled by editorial content in the reporting.

I don't understand what that means; this isn't reddit, please don't just post blatantly false statements.

This means Louisiana's Governor is John Edwards, a democrat, and normally one refers to a US State being led by a Governor... not an AG. Though a legal filing is led by an AG... so the comments when added together led to ambiguity I found funny, and decided to play with. I should have linked to the Governor first, and fully explained my joke. I understand comedy is not what we come here for, but sometimes, it's good to not take everything so seriously.
