Louisiana's three republican candidates for governor, David Vitter, Scott Angelle and Jay Dardenne are attacking each other with their TV and radio ads and each say the other is not qualified to be governor because of this or that. They are playing like the republicans who are running for their party's Presidential nomination and in the process exposing their own lack of leadership and accomplishments.
Those three would be governors after seven and half years finally spoke out about the reckless agenda of the Jindal administration and confirms what democrats have been saying all along about the failed ideology of republican candidates and their party. When the democrats point out those failures, the republicans say it is partisan politics. But now the republicans themselves are confirming the democratic position with their own personal attacks against their fellow republican opponents.
Louisiana's democratic representative John Bel Edwards is the only candidate that can turn the state around with sound policies that relate to the real needs of the people and the state. The state will have tried the republican gimmicks and ideology for 16 of the past 20 years when Jindal leaves office so we know how they failed. Democratic governor Kathleen Blanco interrupted their party for four years (thank goodness) and her administration accomplished more for Louisiana than Mike Foster or Bobby Jindal.
There is no secret to the success of democratic administrations and its called policy. Policy that recognize what needs to be done to move the state and its people forward. John Bel Edwards has the political understanding to make that happen for Louisiana and its people.
