for the first time, I don't blame Blanco. She must have picked up some decent advisors, cuz I'm sure the idiot would've run again, otherwise. I voted for Jindal last time. I will again.
The cruel voter calculus was probably due to Senate and House considerations moreso than anything she may have wanted or not wanted to do. That is to say, it would be an even bigger uphill battle for the Dems to keep control of both houses of the Legislature with her at the top of the ticket. With Breaux, it becomes easier.
Tanner -- I would think that Breaux's popularity may boomerang the "he ain't one of us anymore" talk...but maybe not.
Jindal is a really interesting character. No matter whether he wins or loses, he seems to have a future, either in Red Stick or The District of Columbia.

Throughout his life, from childhood until death, he was beset by severe swings of mood. His depressions frequently encouraged, and were exacerbated by, his various vices. His character mixed a superficial Enlightenment sensibility for reason and taste with a genuine and somewhat Romantic love of the sublime and a propensity for occasionally puerile whimsy.
