Laurinda Calongne, who challenged the good ol' boy network within the Louisiana GOP this spring, and made the primary run-off, only to fall short against Louis "Woody" Jenkins, has announced that she will NOT be a candidate for Congress this fall.
Rather, she will start a group called the Conservative Leadership Council, which aims to recruit young conservatives to run for office, with a particular emphasis on conservative women. In short, she wants to be, perhaps, an Emily's List for the right?
This is very good news for State Senator Bill Cassidy, who can now spend his money and train his fire against Woody Jenkins for the next three months all by his lonesome. Will Woody survive the carnage headed his way? Only time will tell.
