This guy's radicalism scares me, and now he's won a statewide race.

2. Yes, the one and only

His campaign ads were a hoot. I won't have my patriotism questioned. Everyone in the state except me is either corrupt or incompetent. Just think about my ideas (look into my eyes and think about my ideas) and everything will be wonderful.

He won by going to North Louisiana and telling the peckerwoods, "I'm a Christian." He, like limbaugh, knows his audience.

8. At least if they have another hurricane

the Bush administration might be more willing to help them out than last time under a Democratic governor.

6. He can't do any worse than our incumbent

Even on social issues she was horrid. She signed an abortion ban into law that was just slightly less regressive than South Dakota's.

The only thing that annoys me about this is that it will be a boost for the Republic Party.
