However, unfortunately, I don't think I'll have to make that decision. While many in Louisiana think Kennedy would make a good candidate, he keeps denying interest in the position.<br /><br />Regardless, I have already volunteered to help Jindal here in Acadia Parish. I've been in contact with his campaign, and I am trying to work out a senerio where he could come visit Iota, much like Congressman Boustany did when I met with him for an hour at my wife's cousin's store.<br /><br />If Kennedy would run, I would want to try and work out a visit from him too for as many people as possible to meet him. I just think it would make for a very good run-off for Louisiana. But again, I really don't know if Kennedy is going to run...so Go Bobby!! Yeah, I don’t know who I would vote for between the two.

And given the Katrina fiasco, this is probably the ideal time for him to go for that spot.

Early polling has him at like %60. We'll see about that. Landrieu has notably become a female version of John Breaux, which means she is more representative of the electorate...a good thing. Remembering the whole Katrina for a moment (very easy), you see just how bad Blanco botched the response. In my opinion more blame can be laid at her door than anyone else, including Mike Brown. She cared more about currying favor to her political party than taking care of her people. I've mentioned it before here, but Edwards would have played ball with a republican president, and he damn sure would've kept the New Orleans mayor in line. <br/><br/>I am definitelypulling for Jindal. I voted up here in Ohio, and didn't like it when the Dems won. Life goes on and things won't change much. But I think it's crucial that Jindal get elected governor down there. I hope the rednecks in North Louisiana wake up and realize they need more than the corrupt politics that has run Louisiana since reconstruction. They need a solution-oriented leader, not another pretty face that can wave to the crowd. I agree this is good news. Early polling has him at like %60. We’ll see about that.
