After nearly months of hearing the rumor from folks throughout Louisiana that Governor PBJ might leave the Governor's mansion to run against the Sinning Senator David Vitter, Governor PBJ finally deigned it time to address the issue head-on: (emphasis mine)
"Well a couple of things, first, Vitter's going to have to make his case with the voters, just like every candidate does. There's been a lot of speculation. Let me answer your question very directly, I'm not running for the senate, I'm running for re-election as governor in 2011, but David's going have to make his case with the voters directly just like any other candidate's going to have to do that."
Wow. Not only is Governor PBJ distancing himself from running against the Sinning Senator, but he literally does not want the taint of the Sinning Senator's peccadilloes to even touch him in public.
On Wednesday, John McCain held a town hall here in Baton Rouge. In response to a question regarding his vice presidential pick, he said:
OUCH! Too much to do here in Louisiana? Could it be that the GOP doesn't want to see Mitch Landrieu show them how a real government would take care of things?
