I wonder who Gov. Blanc's "puppetmaster" is. Judging from her total lack of composure in the midst of the crisis, it would seem likely that there is someone behind the scenes making decisions for her.
It may be the DNC or it may not. The whole state is corrupt. My husband grew up there and we both attended a university in Lake Charles. Corruption is rampant even in the small towns. Its a way of life. Its a "I'll scratch your back if you'll scratch mine" mindset and everyone looks the other way and jokes among themselves about the corruption. The dad of one of my husbands high school friends owned a high end men's clothing store in the small town where he grew up and ran a bookie operation out of the back of the store. In the same town, the local taxi service fronted a prostitution ring.
Blanco could be pressured by the DNC or she may be pressured by the NO mafia chiefs or she may owe someone big time. Who knows; maybe she's just an idiot.
