I met Honore.

I will not vote for him.

Unless my name gets written as a resident by ACORN.

[Nervous Tick]

I think the General would be a very frustrated member of Congress. Talk about an organization “stuck on stupid”! They’d drive him nuts.

On the other hand, General Honore has “executive” deep within his bones. He’d make a fabulous governor. And from there...

bttt

[rightwingintelligentsia]

What was your impression of him?

[decimon]

...socially out of sink with Louisiana voters.

Uh-huh.

Wonder who Jindal will support.

[CPT Clay]

No, he would be a great candidate for the 3rd CD.

[CPT Clay]

You got that right.

And, all things being equal, Cajuns DO vote for Cajuns.

Exactly, this is why Babineaux defeated Jindle not racisim.

Vitter has personal issues, but on the political issues, he has been rock solid as far as I can tell.

[Nervous Tick]

Wouldn’t it be fun to have Honore run as TEXAS governor?

He’d be more conservative than KBH or Perry.
With his take-no-prisoners common sense attitude, he’d be effective as all get-out.
AND AT THE SAME TIME...
He’d be more entertaining than Kinky Friedman!

[Joe 6-pack]

He ought to seek a seat in the House, then shoot for Landrieu’s seat in a few years.

[CPT Clay]

General Mayorga would be even better!

I’m currently starting a write in campaign for Jerry Patterson. You in?

[Nervous Tick]

>> Jerry Patterson. You in?

Well, he’s an Aggie, but then so is Perry. < j/k >

I read a little bit about him just now. I like what I see.

[fieldmarshaldj]

This is unwise.

[centurion316]

Russ Honore is my friend, no one should underestimate him. He would make a great Senator for Louisiana, but I would rather see him get Landrieu’s seat.

[AuH2ORepublican]

“This is unwise.”

If Vitter has been damaged by his marital infidelity, I’d rather find out in the primary rather than the general. Assuming that Honoré is a solid conservative, as appears to be the case, I have no problem with him running against Vitter and letting the LA GOP primary electorate decide who the nominee should be.

Having an African-American conservative in the Senate would be terrific for many reasons, but in the case of Honoré I’m sure that the media will ignore his African descent and call him a Franco-American whitey (unlike with the Fords of Memphis, Rangel, Obama, etc.).

[fieldmarshaldj]

He hasn’t been damaged enough, since that would’ve been reflected in potential matchups with Jay Dardenne (let alone Melancon). I’m worried that Vitter comes out of this primary damaged enough by a substantial candidate like Honoré that the Dems won’t have to do the dirty work for the fall general. He’s one of our best voting members, period, and that’s why removing him or an ugly primary is the last thing we need at this point, especially when we’re down to 40 members. It’s Landrieu that needs removing, or going after the Melancon open seat. Vitter needs to be left alone here.
