I read his (Honore) book over the summer and he came across in the book as a liberal republican/conservative democrat type. It should be an interesting race and debate.

He grew up very poor but he has a very strong work ethic. He had a very interesting perspective on the situation in NOLA after Katrina. He really identified with the poor folks that he was charged with rescuing because of his personal background and that may be one reason he was so successful there but he also had the courage to criticize some of their failures and what went wrong in the local and federal govts. To me, he came across as a conservative Bill Cosby/John McCain type.

My only hesitation would be with how he would vote on some social programs issues in the Washington DC environment.

Sorry! His book is called-- Survival: How a Culture of Preparedness Can Save America and You from Disasters.

I'd recommend reading it to get a better picture of who he is he does into quite a bit of detail about his personal life and career.

You just demonstrated my worries perfectly. There’s already too many liberal RINOs in the Senate. Dumping Vitter only on a “guess” or presumption as to Honoré’s potential voting record is insane and “stuck on stupid.”
