Breaux's a Dem. And I wouldn't come close to saying I agreed with him in politics. But, he was a good democrat in the sense that he's never been a whole hog lib. He did have the guts to go his own way and not cave to the lib/rat agenda. And has compromised as well as voted for more conservative things in which he believed.
I would have to say IMHO, of the senatorial rats, he is one I hate to see go... I somehow doubt that Louisiana will replace him with a republican. I don't know of another Rat there who can fill his shoes.

Breaux does: Rep. Chris John, D-LA, the man he has endorsed as his successor
