HotlineTV: Breaux In The Bayou
March 23, 2007, 8:49pm
This week’s episode of HotlineTV leads with a discussion about the Louisiana gubernatorial race.
The big news: Democratic Gov. Kathleen Blanco, who caught heat for her leadership in response to the devastation wrought by Hurricance Katrina in 2005, has decided not to seek re-election. The big question: Will former Sen. John Breaux be the Democratic standard-bearer against Rep. Bobby Jindhal?
The Hotline crew also covers:
- The “Vote Different” online video against Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., and what it might mean for the presidential ambitions of Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., now that the video has been linked to a techie who did consulting for Obama;
- The major gaffe by Politico.com in reporting that Democrat John Edwards would suspend his presidential campaign because his wife, Elizabeth, has cancer again;
- And the style, performance and execution of the main characters in the controversy over the Bush administration’s firing of U.S. prosecutors.
