Yesterday, the Baton Rouge Advocate profiled Foster Campbell, as part of a series in which they will be profiling each of the "major" candidates in the race.
You gotta love a political candidate that lists President Harry S. Truman as his hero. Foster received the highest praise a politician can get from former state Sen. Edwards Barham of Oak Ridge:
"He and I did not agree on every issue, but he is a straight shooter. You don’t have any trouble understanding where he is.”
I think Harry S. Truman would be proud to work with Foster Campbell, as ol' Harry was a straight shooter, too. And this quote from Sen. Robert Barham, (Edwards Barham's brother), an Oak Ridge Republican:
“He is the real, dyed-in-the-wool traditional Democrat. He is a stump speaker. He is entertaining. When he went to the microphone, everyone wanted to know what Foster wanted to say. And he was always well-prepared for debates. When he came to the microphone to debate you with regard to specifics, he had his specifics."
Foster's specifics are outlined here. He's the real deal, and don't be surprised if he makes the runoff.
