1. Question

Out of curiosity...

Is Mitch Landrieu any relation to Senator Mary Landrieu?

[ronzo]

2. DING....brother Mitch.

He's gonna be a player.

[BeatleBoot]

4. How so?

Hubby, brother, nephew?

[ButterflyBlood]

20. it says in the subject line

he's her brother.

[jiacinto]

3. Yeah

they are related.

[ronzo]

5. Mitch is Mary's little brother.

Son and daughter of "Moon" Landrieu, lauded Mayor of New Orleans.

[jus_the_facts]

6. Yes Terrell was our Commissioner of Elections.....

....for one term...that's all I know of tho!

Touche' Carlos....I admit I was wrong about the all Dem run off *sigh* wish I weren't but was....I conceed defeat! :evilgrin:

[jiacinto]

7. We should be happy in one regard

Democrats got many more votes in the Governor primary than Republicans.

[jus_the_facts]

8. yeah but Blanco is WEAK......

.....don't want her to represent as the first woman Governor of Louisiana...but she will be regardless....I LOATHE HER!!! x(

on edit.....but not as much as Jindal....no where near it...:puke:

[jiacinto]

9. What's wrong with her

nt

[jus_the_facts]

10. first and foremost she's not pro-choice......

.....she's scatter brained...if you'd heard her in the debates as I did it'd be obvious to you too....she didn't support Mary Landrieu in her last bid for the Senate either....she's weak....all the way around!x(

[jiacinto]

11. I understand

But given how LA has a lot of Catholics her position is understandable.

[jus_the_facts]

12. Well I don't.....

....don't care much for *religious* conviction at all myself....but that's a whole 'nother can of worms for another time and thread! :shrug: I'm gonna retire and give it a rest for now...said I was gonna get off here a couple hours ago and got myself all worked up again!! :D

on edit.....G'night Carlos!! :hi:

[sleipnir]

13. Then get behind Ieyoub

He seems to have numbers, I guess the thing is to stomp for him.

Does this mean now matter what, you guys get a Dem Lt. Gv.???

Score one already for the good guys.

[kayleybeth]

14. Yes

Looks like we have a new Dem Lt. Governor (Mitch Landrieu). Ieyoub is out of the governor's race as far as we can tell. Looks like it will be a runoff between Jindal (Reupuke) and Kathleen Blanco (Democrat). Blanco has a very good chance of beating Jindal in the runoff.

Kayeleigh

[jiacinto]

15. Yeah she does

nt

[CMT]

16. she supported the GOP candidate against Landrieu in 2002?

omg. Now she wants to be the Democratic governor of the state. She shouldn't expect much help from Mary L's organization.

[jus_the_facts]

17. can't recall if she backed the opposition or not....but.....

....her non support of Mary says a LOT about her IMHO....she's the WORST Dem candidate who could have been picked out of the ones who ran....and that's a FACT! She will prove my point for me in the long run I've no doubt about it!

[jiacinto]

18. I would test the accuracy of that statement

I would do some research on it. That poster above has made it obvious that he/she does not like Blanco. Keep that in mind.

[jus_the_facts]

21. hey man.....never said anyone has to take my word for anything......

...besides as I've told you before YOU don't have any say what so ever in what does or doesn't go on here but yet you've made snide remarks about it all like you do somehow....no wonder you get the flack around here you do....if you were paying so much attention to it all then you'd know where I'm coming from with my statements....but obviously you don't so cut it out man!!:evilfrown:

[Loyal]

19. Never mind

My question was answered.
