The last paragraph of this article is the part that bears reading. Given the heavily Republican nature of this district, we should select the most strongly conservative, pro-border security, pro-national amnesty, pro-2nd amendment, and pro-national security candidate who runs. No need to make concessions there.
Looking at what Galactic Overlord said on this one, it seems that Treen is getting a bad case of Harold Stassen syndrome or something. Why else would an 80 year old have a sudden urge to be a freshman member of Congress? :-O
Of course the probelm is here is that Treen probably has some descent name recognition and built-in support as one of very GOP governors of Louisiana in modern times. His entry in the primary is likely to muck things up. Jindal was only there for 3 years. We need someone who plans on holding this seat long-term.
The best thing to do here is probably alert Louisiana freepers who might know Treen, and see if they can talk some sanity into him.
