LA-SEN: The State of GOP Opposition to Mary Landrieu

[First, a cheap plug for my blog Senate 2008 Guru: Following the Races.]

While the 2007 Louisiana Gubernatorial race and 2008 Presidential speculation are probably gaining the bulk of the attention, the 2008 Senate race in Louisiana should be interesting.  Mary Landrieu is regarded as the most vulnerable Democrat of the cycle across the country.  So, what is the current state of the NRSC and LA-GOP finding an opponent for her?

Hmmmm... Bobby Jindal is running for Governor. GOP Congressmen Charles Boustany and Jim McCrery have both taken their names out of the running. GOP Congressman Richard Baker has a whopping $66,000 cash-on-hand. And Jay Dardenne, who is already polling significantly behind the "vulnerable" Landrieu, is embarrassing himself. In fact, the only Republicans who have demonstrated any interest are Woody Jenkins and Suzanne Haik Terrell, the two Republicans Landrieu has already defeated.

It's like the LA-GOP and NRSC are standing at a microphone mumbling, "Is this thing on?"  While there is still almost 18 months until Election Day 2008, Republican options are slimming awful quickly.
