Long read about Blanco as Governor.Worth reading.
Interesting article.
I read this article; it is absolutely sickening when these politicians use the death of a family memmber to their advantage. Remember John Edwards constantly reminding us about the death of his son?
We all have lost loved ones and have emotional pain; some definitely worse then others. To discuss it for political advantage is sickening.
I heard this sales pitch repeatedly -- both in public forums and private meetings -- over a 10-day period I spent with Blanco last month. It's a pitch calculated to make people feel confident again about Louisiana, as a place to live and as a place to invest. And despite a general consensus that the odds are against her, it's a well-received message. "I didn't realize how pro-business Louisiana was until tonight," Jay Sholl, a senior executive with Trammell Crow, said as the evening ended at Boudro's. "What makes this refreshing is the personal commitment of the governor.
I wonder if any of those companies decided to move to New Orleans?
