Okay, it's been quite some time since I've posted. That's because I've been locked into exam mode for the past few weeks, and I completed all exams last Thursday. I needed to take some time to breathe, and catch up with sleep.
I've also been busy starting my new job with H & R Block, and making a move to a duplex, complete with a backyard for the little runt to run around in. Problem is, he sits there waiting to be let out!
And last, but certainly not least, the upcoming LA-01 special primary election to fill Governor PBJ's congressional seat on March
8, 2008. Yep, you heard that right - a primary, not a jungle primary. There will be separate party primaries for all federal level elective offices in Louisiana from here on out! About damn time if you ask me. From there, there will be a special general election on April 5, 2008.
Rumor has it that last cycle's candidate, David Gereighty, is considering another run at LA-01. Haven't heard anything definitive at this point.
There is one candidate that has been running hard, going to meetings and gatherings all over LA-01 for a quite a few months now. Her name is Gilda Reed. I've met her numerous times over the last six months, and I've got to say, the woman is ball of energy. She would be a nice change of pace from PBJ's lackadaisical manner, and she promises to represent everyone in the district, even the Northshore area that was taken for granted by recent holders of the seat. Go check out her website. NOW!
