He endorsed another candidate in the primary, Congressman Cooksey. Cooksey got 14% of the vote. He and Foster have behaved disgracefully, like petulant children since the election. The NRSC made a decision to back Mrs Terrell without consulting with the Gov. No reason for them to do so, since the Gov. had already announced his support for Cooksey before Terrell entered the race. With national support came money, $500K, and a more effective ad campaign for Mrs Terrell. The gov. didn't like that, thought the NRSC should have spread the money around amongst the 3 Republicans instead of the one they had endorsed... Try to figure that out. He said he didn't like that wasn't consulted. Found fault with Mrs Terrell's radio and TV ads, said they were negative. Apparently, he equates talking about Landrieu's record negative. Foster switched parties in 1996 and seems to still have some loyalty to the democrats. Lastly, he has a pet education project that he feels is better than the administration's plan. So, he is in a snit over it, wants the White House to make some concessions. Personally, I think the gov. ought to be careful what he wishes for, he just might get that one thing and that might be the last bit of cooperation he gets.
