Yes, the 1st has two and the 6th three, but none of them are likely to make it interesting enough to deny an almost certain GOP win in the 1st, and a likely GOP win in the 6th.Jeff Sadowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03972004592729833310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214951.post-33929230374488092022008-03-03T17:25:00.000-06:002008-03-03T17:25:00.000-06:00JeffreyDo you realize that their is an independent...Jeffrey<BR/><BR/>Do you realize that their is an independent candidate in this race that can make things interesting?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214951.post-64115112376436658532008-02-27T20:26:00.000-06:002008-02-27T20:26:00.000-06:00>What part of squeezing $28 BILLION in hurricane r...>What part of squeezing $28 BILLION in hurricane recovery money from the Federal government would you consider controversial about Andy Kopplin's legislative service?<BR/><BR/>Not his legislative service, his service in high-ranking positions to former Govs. Foster and Blanco.

Kopplin went to D.C. nearly two dozen times on behalf of Louisiana. While the likes of Cazayoux, Decuir and the other candidates running have district experience, none of them has had to go to bat for Louisiana in a Federal arena like Kopplin has. And won. I mean, come on! Becoming head of the Louisiana Recovery Authority was not a political move for his career, it was simply the right thing to do when the right thing needed to be done. That is the kind of guy that Andy Kopplin is. Those of us who know him, know that well. Plus, he is a Harvard man and brilliant to boot. Ask anyone who has ever worked with him. Now is the time for Louisiana to get SMART. Kopplin's the man for district 6.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
