Breaux would be a strong candidate should he choose to leave Patton Boggs in DC and move back to Louisiana. Blanco may get an offer she can't refuse when he meets with her to talk about the governorship.

Bad news, if true.

Breaux was responsible for getting Landrieux elected to the Senate last time around. He assured the voters that she worked well with Bush and would vote pro-life.

Apparently Louisianans believe anything he says.

Breaux is "neaux geaux" so far as I'm concerned.

I'm ready for some Bayou Masala myself.

Run, Bobby, run!

No way that Breaux gives up a cushy,, big $$$$ paycheck, and the sweet life in DC to go back and work his ass off in LA.. The state's a mess..post Katrina...Bobby Jindal will be the next Governor of LA

I hope Bobby wins, I heard a caller on the Moon Griffon show say "I think Breaux walks on water"

Breauk had 30 years in the senate. It took Vitter 2 to get fair/equal offshore gas and oil revenues for the state.

Lamedreux didn't fret a blonde curl about it till a TRUE representative of the citizens was ELECTED!

Hopefully as literacy increases so will the realization that this state is one big failed govt plantation! But the massass are hoping to squeeze in a few more buisinesses/hotels/golf courses/lakes and reservoirs before their package fees are revoked!!!!

Actually, he had a little over 14 years in the House and 18 in the Senate.

Why work for big bucks as a lobbyist when there's millions to be stolen from the Federal Government and citizens of LA.

If we could sell the state back to France for what we paid we'd be the winners.

Bite your tongue. If the French got it back it would become Jihad on the Bayou faster than you can say "Goodbye Joe".

I read on politics1.com that Blanco will run for re-election regardless of what Breaux does.

Which might close the door on a Breaux run, since he's reported as not wanting to run if Blanco does.

Blanco is just posturing, IMHO...her poll numbers are awful...and I repeat, no way Breaux wants to climb into that swamp..it's a no-win situation for him..

If Breaux runs, he wins. The Dems will be putting plenty of pressure on him to enter the race.

How dose he get around the law (Constitution Requires 5 year resiliency)since he has been a resident and registered voter in Maryland for years?

Oh, my bad! I forgot, he is a demoncrat and the law doesn't apply to them.
