Update II- General Honore Throws Cold Water On Senate Run RumorsBoy that would be interesting. Especially in light of Does Obama Care About New Orleans? (Update) . The last thing Obama needs is a black /creole Catholic Pro-life Republican respected military guy nick named "The Ragin' Cajun" John Wayne figure (That even New Orleans liberals like) talking about the President's broken promises to Louisiana, and yelling the Congress is "STUCK ON STUPID" in a race that would I expect get a ton of National TV coverage.
I mean once the 5 second thrill for Democrats of defeating David Vitter is gone don't they have then a much larger long term problem in many ways?
I am sure the Democrat party will try to figure out how to funnel money to the Vitter Campaign if he runs. :)
UPDATE- Is not a winning issue for Honore that he could against Vitter and Melachon in the general Coastal erosion and how they are not producing enough? Honore will make war on the insufferable Corp of Engineers whose whims and often mind blowing choices affect the lives of so many folks!! I can see that.
Sure Honore has his advantages, heaven knows he can highlight the fact that the Obama administration was all talk regarding its promises to New Orleans. Vitter is working hard, has a proven record of canvasing the state- North and South- making good on his promise to hold town hall meetings in EVERY parish EVERY congress. I no longer care about his personal issues, that is between him, God, and his family. He votes the way I want him to 99% of the time and I think we should be proud to have him as our Senator. We need to keep our support behind him and not let in party fighting lead us to a counter productive primary. Perhaps, Honore is doing his part, putting this bit of gossip out to steal the headlines (small as they were) from Charlie Boy's announcement, anyone thought about that?
ReplyDeleteI think Gen. Honore is a courageous, manly man who was willing to do a job no one else had the stones to do. My concern is that, if elected, he would be Colin Powell's copycat, a liberal in conservative clothing.
