BATON ROUGE -Gannett- [1] Gov. Kathleen Blanco has made it official: she will not run for re-election.”I am choosing to do what I believe to be what is best for the state,” the governor said in a statewide television broadcast. “I will focus the next nime months on the people’s work, not on politics.”
In case you’re curious, that translates as: ” I’ve looked over the field, and I haven’t a hope in hell of winning reelection.”
Gee, I wonder why that would be.
And of course, Bobby Jindal running rings around her for the last number of months would be another motivation. Look for Sen. John Breaux to run for the spot as a Democrat… and lose.
[1]Update: (David L) Paul, Wizbang [2], reports one, that John Breaux is in and two, the state GOP has already run anti Breaux ads. Way to go.
