wrt “based on the way he performed during Katrina.”
don’t be too quick. Then MG Caldwell, CG of the 82d, did most of the Title 10 good works. LTG (ret) Honore just ran around screaming w/o purpose. It made for good TV, but accomplished very little.
Anyone here from the USS Iwo Jima remember the CO almost kicking him off the ship?
Yep, that's pretty thin, isn't it? Sure, it's enough for some here who are eager to throw Vitter under the bus - but right now, Honore is a political unknown. Outside of the New Orleans area and those who followed every minute of Katrina news coverage, nobody knows much about the man.
I'm not even sure he lives in Louisiana at this time; last I heard he was residing near Atlanta.
Although I *hope* the General is a conservative, I'd have to consider the possibility that he's a stalking horse for Melancon.

That's Honore for ya. He's a screamer. His leadership style is to scream at and bully people.
If I lived in LA, I wouldn't vote for him.
