One party state? Louisiana historically has been fairly left leaning. Democrat governor and Democrat senators/congress. Recently that went conservative with Jindal, but I'd hardly call the region one party. With the exception of South Louisiana, most of it and Arkansas (exception of liberal little rock) are in the bible belt, so things tend to be very old school (votes tend to go red).
Religion wise, the South is mostly protestant with the exception of Catholic south Louisiana.
