Anyone wanna dis on Governor Blanco at this point?

If she lands the Toyota plant in Richland Parish and the Kuwaiti Refinery, not only will I vote for her, I will actively campaign for her.

We've come a long way to just be considered for those projects. To actually land them would be a coup. It would be like firing Sean Payton after leading the Saints to a Superbowl.

Insane...

What I worry about is that it's more like firing Jim Haslett after his first year. He seemed to have done a good job then, how would could we know that it was all going to fall apart?

I see that with Blanco. These are exactly the types of things she was doing before Katrina. She was doing a good job, then she failed miserably with Katrina and the LRA is still failing miserably under her watch. I can't shake the memory of her blank stares and lack of State Government response to Katrina.

Can she turn that around? Sure. Could she still earn my vote? Sure. But, I'm not sure that landing a few manufacturing plants will do it. As SaintJ suggested I expect more from our Governor than someone who is using tactics that other governors have been doing for years while Mike Foster was busy hunting and taking classes at Southern. To paraphrase a line from The Godfather, we need a war time Governor and I'm not sure Blanco is a war time Governor.

Honestly whether she gets my vote or not will depend on how I see the State Government through the LRA acts in rebuilding SELA. It will also depend on who runs against her.
