In August, Karl Rove practically begged Governor Foster to run for this very seat because he was seen as the only Republican who would be almost certain to beat Mary Landrieu. When he refused, I remember many Republicans moaning and crying that the seat was certain to remain in Democrat hands.
Governor Foster refused to run because he's reached that age when he wants to hunt, fish, and enjoy his family. He certainly never expects to be elected to anything again as a member of any party because he's ready to leave politics. These constant threats of electoral retribution against him would be comical if they weren't so counterproductive.
Again folks, it's time to get past this defeatist attitude that Governor Foster's endorsement is all that important. If you've listened to what he's said, his real problem is with the NRSC and not with Mrs. Terrell. He's wrong to express his disagreement with the NRSC in a way that reflects badly on Mrs. Terrell, but it's over and done. We still have a great candidate who can win voters on her own merits without his endorsement. We should focus on that fact and not worry about other distractions.

Then the heck with him.
Thanks for the information.
You are very right, WFTR. The Terrell campaign is energized, and most voters that I have spoken to are keenly aware of the importance of this election. If we don't beat pro-abortion, pro-tax and very liberal (pretending to be moderate only in election years) Mary this time, we'll have her around for the next 30 years. Ugh! We are determined to defeat her, and I think we can! On to victory!
