This is a vacancy which happens only once or twice in a generation, so expect a crowded field.

Here’s my take:

John Neely Kennedy is acceptable, but nothing great. Charles Boustany is an establishment hack, though I’d support him against a DemocRAT. Rob Manness is an unknown. John Fleming is my choice. Good conservative and medical credentials give him credibility on Obamacare.

I don’t know who will run on the other side.

Rob Manness sounds conservative, but like you I worry he may be a rino. I will take a closer look at Fleming. Thanks.

I’m not much more inclined to favor Kennedy than Boustany, but he is preferable, Bosutany can’t be forgiven for his craven attempts to create a slightly safer seat for himself at the expense of the rest of the state. Kennedy is an ex-rat but seems to have been loyal since, supported Vitter for Governor unlike certain traitors.

I was very very much not in favor of Manness running last time. I am open to him this time under different circumstances though as ever I’m inclined to favor Fleming over someone with no record in office.
