I saw this guy on TV and he is a true conservative, unlike Kennedy, who ran for Senate against David Vitter as a liberal Democrat, with his chief supporter being Bill Jefferson.

Louisiana works by having a free-for-all election, followed by a run off of the top two candidates if no one gets over 50%, right?

This sounds like brilliant Rovian strategy: get a Democrat to run as a Republican against Landrieu, and once he’s already committed, stick a true conservative in the race. If all works well, Kennedy will split Landrieu’s vote and knock her out, leaving the runoff between the two Republicans. Sounds like a sure win strategy to me.

If you think the National Republican party is inept, you should see the Louisiana Republican party. Talk about Dumb and Dumberer, that is who they are.

They allowed Aaron Broussard to win in Jefferson Parish by not running any serious candidate against him. They lost the Attorney General race, the Sheriff of Jefferson Parish race by 90% to 10%. You don’t see those kind of numbers except in places like Iraq.

True, we got Bobby Jindahl, but that was no thanks to them. That was all Bobby’s doing. We’ll probably lose David Vitter’s seat if he decides to run for re-election.

In Landrieu’s last run for re-election, they ran a liberal woman against her that ran a poor campaign.

I don’t think Landrieu is sweating in her boots over this election.
