Assuming, as the polls seem to have concluded, that Bobby Jindal will soon be moving to Baton Rouge, we're going to be in for at least one fascinating contest to fill his 1st Congressional District seat. Gov. Jindal would call the special election, likely in the spring, and the winner would have to run again in the regular election next fall. Four established politicians, two from the south shore of Lake Pontchartrain and two from the north shore, already are weighing the race. Any combination would constitute the first seriously contested campaign in the 1st District since 1999. And lurking...

Without fanfare or national media attention, White House strategist Karl Rove went to Louisiana the weekend before last to woo State Treasurer John Kennedy (D) to the GOP and into the 2008 Senate race against Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA). Republican insiders see Landrieu as the most vulnerable Democratic senator up for reelection next year, but with none of the GOP members of the Congressional delegation stepping up to the plate, party strategists are looking elsewhere. Kennedy has good poll numbers statewide and would be a formidable challenger to the Senator. But it is far from clear that the state Treasurer...

Gov. Kathleen Blanco’s decision not to run for re-election has forced state Republicans to throw out much of their 2007 campaign playbook, political experts said. Blanco’s exit from the governor’s race amid heavy criticism appears to affect, and possibly help, Democrats more than Republicans. “Democrats feel a lot better today than they did a week ago,” said former state Insurance Commissioner Jim Brown, a Democrat. “Blanco was running, and Jindal was going to beat her very strongly.”

Statement by Roger F. Villere, Jr., Chairman, Republican Party of Louisiana: “I regret to inform you of the death of a great leader who helped transform Louisiana, former LAGOP Chairman Billy Nungesser. Billy Nungesser served as Chairman of the Republican Party of Louisiana from 1988-1992. But he faithfully served our party and state for decades, playing a pivotal role in the election of Governor Dave Treen in 1979. Billy was truly a giant among men, a Republican pioneer who fought for reform in Louisiana when it was unpopular to be a Republican. I’m glad he lived to see the...

On Hannity/C, (it was also mentioned on Brit's show) they were talking about the replacement for Dash man seat.... both shows mentioned John Breaux for the seat; Isn't Breaux the one that tried to pick up a sixteen year old girl??? RoRo! Also, my dad has told me several times that he always went against helping the vets... my dad is a korean war vet (Navy)?

That is a very moving ad. Much more impact than watching it online. Makes me teary every time I see it.

2004 US Senate Elections These are the states I am watching: Florida: I believe that Martinez will help Bush here. I think Cubans that are having doubts about Bush will support him when they vote for Martinez. I think most Hispanics would like to have Martinez representing them and that will push him past Castor. Castor comes off very old and too loyal to the “party.” And she is in real trouble when she has to explain about how she handled the “terrorist professor” when she was the president of USF. She has been around in politics for over ten...

Boy the liberal 'BS' just runs through all of their veins of the democRATs. She makes me want to puke!

Way Is Clear For Jindal In First District

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Democratic U.S. Rep. Rodney Alexander switched his party affiliation to Republican on Friday — making the surprise flip in the last minute of registration for the Nov. 2 ballot virtually assuring the seat for the GOP. Alexander, a first-term congressman from Quitman, had registered at the start of qualifying on Wednesday as a Democrat. At that time he said, "I'm not ashamed to be a Democrat but I vote what I think the people of the 5th District want me to represent." There is another strong Republican in the three-candidate field. He is Jock Scott,...

It's Over for Kerry in Louisiana; Are Other State Democrat Hopefuls Next? PoliticsLA.com Commentary By Prof. Jeff Sadow July 28, 2004 It's now officially over in Louisiana but it was really over five months ago: President George W. Bush was assured of carrying the state as soon as Sen. John Kerry emerged as the presumptive Democrat nominee. Officially over because Democrats have pulled any organized ad campaign for Kerry and even Republicans have dispatched party workers from Louisiana to hotter campaign spots. A recent poll confirmed this, with Bush having an almost insurmountable lead in the state. One must wonder...

Gannett Fails One-Newspaper Communities/Counties- Port Huron Times Herald a Queue for Government Intervention? In particular, with today’s concentration of all reporting medium with just a few companies- who determines the void or lack of reporting in the best interest to citizens. I’ve challenged a Gannett newspaper, the Times Herald of Port Huron Michigan of its obligation citizens in one-newspaper counties. There appears to be an immediate need to make certain legislation be brought requiring corporate newspapers to better report news and serving the communities they cover. At a crucial time with the 2004 Primary literally days away- this particular newspaper,...

The poll of 600 likely Republican voters in St. Clair County Michigan’s State Representative District 81 countywide found Alloway leading Pavlov by 12 points, 48 percent to 40 percent in a three-way race with Yale Republican Steve Pray Nader included in the ballot test.

“A Michigan Impossible until we work together ending illegal state house electioneering practices” Joe Alloway-R Michigan House District 81 St. Clair County Michigan PORT HURON – JULY 11, 2004 - Please listen to a recent interview (http://66.92.134.175/~benburch/old/TrupianoShow-(10-5-2004).mp3) exposing Michigan’s #1 area to reform and that’s ending illegal activities in Michigan’s House Republican Caucus Communications Office! Very few citizens asked have no idea of what that word means. Folks, the bottom line is we’ve had some major problems in this antiquated, 50-person staffed office and they’re just coming public. Take recent revelations of state employees assigned to representatives as campaign managers...

I just got back last week from driving across the country, I live in Washington State and drove to PA in see my wifes family and took I-80 and I-90 back home. With my Bush/Cheney sticker from 2000 in my back window along with my W-04 sticker I got a aproviel rating of about 75% judging from the honks and thumbs ups from fellow drivers. Funny how I got the 1 finger salute from the folks with the Kerry stickers. My question to you is do you vent your hate and anger at fellow drivers on the road with a...

During the drama of the Toomey/Specter primary, the one place many of us turned to was Toomeyblog.com. Even though that race didn't go as we hoped, others are taking their cue and are starting blogs for other candidates like Herman Cain. Well, add another to the list. I've started Vitterblog. My blog is dedicated to tracking Congressman David Vitter's campaign for the U.S. Senate. As you know, Louisiana has never elected a Republican to the Senate (appointed by the legislature during Reconstruction, true, but not by a direct election). Vitter is running against three Democrats, one of which is Senator...
