Actually, some have rumored her as a possible challenger in the 7th Congressional District Race, which is currently held by Charles Boustany (R-Lafayette).

Do you really think she has a future in elective office in Louisiana? Even at the congressional level?

I don’t think even our voters are that dumb. Besides, her original hometown is New Iberia, which is not in the 7th District. Our current congressman is from Lafayette, which is the largest population in the 7th District, and there’s no way she wins those same rural areas in the region that she won in the ‘03 Governor’s race.

But, with the help of her husband, “Coach” Blanco, she would be able to generate a good bit of money, especially since UL-Lafayette seems to want to retain the Blanco influence at the university.
