"He said he was conducting a poll to present to Breaux in hopes of coaxing the Edwin Edwards protégé to abandon easy street in Washington, D.C...."
This is a reverse look through the mirror of "Main Stream Media" bias. To cast a person such as John Breaux, who has had a brilliant career as both a congressman and senator simply as a Edwards protege is outrageous. Sure, Breaux was Edwards' administrative assistant when Edwards served briefly as a US congressman more than thirty years ago.
---Odom said Ms. Blanco was alright, but that we needed new leadership.---
Sure you're right, Boss!
Wow...Jindal beats Breaux? I would have thought that to be a longshot.
Then again, Breaux hasn't been on a ballot since 1998. Perhaps Jindal has cemented a large suburban/urban vote and has peeled off some rural areas as well.
I don't want Jindal in a race with Breaux. I want Jindal to stay in the US House of Rep.
Maybe the Dems want him out to try for LA Gov but he's already done that!
He's too important to be the La Govnr.
BlanKo - Blanco. Sayonara.
Is this the guy Blanco was trying to get in touch with after hurricane Katrina to find out what to do? Remember, there was a dead time right after the hurricane came ashore before she did anything. I suspect, as a good comrade, she was awaiting her marching orders from the DNC in order to maximize the political effect.
