*Ping*!

So who would be better at going after John's soon to be open seat? Thabidoux or Boustany?

Mike Michot is seriously considering a run:

http://www.hillnews.com/campaign/011404_breaux.aspx

"In the 7th District, in southwestern Louisiana, currently held by John and formerly by Breaux, Democratic contenders include state Sens. Willy Mount and Don Cravins; state Reps. Eric LaFleur and Gil Pinac; and Ned Doucet, a judge.

Republicans who are eyeing the House race are state Sen. Mike Michot, Lake Charles Mayor Randy Roach and Lafayette Parish School Board member David Thibodaux. Although the district gave John 87 percent of the vote in 2002, it also backed President Bush in 2000."

Oh dear- bad news - Michot said no to a congressional run:

http://www.theadvertiser.com/news/html/A89F7B94-8586-44A9-8AA0-CA5E49AB0A8D.shtml

"LAFAYETTE –– Mike Michot, the state senator considered among the strongest Republican contenders for the 7th Congressional District seat, told The Daily Advertiser on Tuesday that he will not run."

Excellent analysis.

Is there any chance we can have just one Republican run, grab on to Bush and hold on as tight as he can, and get 50%+1 in November? I would really like to avoid a December run-off (in which Bush would not be on the ballot, but in which Chris John may well be on the ballot).

Charles Boustany is not a cardiologist. He's a CardioThoracic surgeon. He'll probably take out the reporter's lungs with an ice cream scoop for this mistake.

If Dr. Boustany is very wealthy and willing to spend tons his own money, than he would be the stronger candidate.

I have a question. Isn't Dr. Boustany the Lafayette Parish Coroner?
