When Boustany was first elected I thought, as probably we all did, “great candidate to take out Mary L in 2008”.
And that race was winnable that year too.
If he’s the choice I’ll support him of course but if not Landry there is a state full of Republicans now that I’d rather promote than Chuck. Surely someone else would have high electability.
Given how badly he wanted his House seat made as safe as possibly indicates to me that he intends to set a spell.
Jindal of course is the 1000 pound gorilla. He doesn’t need that last year as Governor, there is still much work to do but may as well punt it to the next guy. Find out what his favorite chocolates are, Jerry Moran.
Your story about Roemer in PR is HILARIOUS.
Remember the Cali Recall? An unknown named George Schwartzman came in 9th right behind Gary Coleman and ahead of porn star Mary Carey. (jeez what a circus)
Had to be because he had Schwartz in his name, similar to and right next to Ahnold on the ballot.
In the 2000 FL recount, both sides agreed that overvotes (where more than one candidate was selected) would not be counted as valid votes. (In the media recounts, the only way they could get Gore to win was to count “redundant overvotes,” where idiots punched out Gore and then punched out “write-in” and wrote in “Gore” or “Lieberman.”) The most common overvote was voting for both Bush and Gore (yes, some people are that stupid), and another common one was Gore and Buchanan (in the butterfly ballot where Gore’s name was across from Buchanan’s).
Well, another common overvote was Gore and Libertarian candidate Harry Browne, and no one could figure out why (since Gore’s and Browne’s names were nowhere near each other). Then it hit someone: the political parties were listed in uppercase under each candidate’s name, and when some voters read LIBERTARIAN they thought that by voting there and for Gire they’d be voting for Gore *and Lieberman*. Cosas veredes, Sancho.
