Blanco Won't Run Again

The governor of my home state of Louisiana Kathleen Blanco will not run for re-election again. She says she wants to focus on doing what she can for the state and not worry about politics. And that may be true, but it might also be because she figures that she doesn't have much of a chance to win.

After the hurricane I really did not like Blanco. I blamed a lot of the problems on her inepitude of running the state. But since than I've read a lot of the books and articles about Katrina and what happened afterwards. While there is a lot she didn't do there is more that she did do that was right than I knew of. It may be praising with faint praise but I have to say she isn't as bad as I thought she was.

The strange thing was that I liked the mayor of New Orleans more right after the hurricane, but after the same reading and just watching him day to day I think the mayor is a complete waste and I don't know how he ever got re elected.

I was shocked at her ineptness after the hurricane...she was totally paralyzed and unable to take charge of anything...
She did women in politics no favors, that's for sure...
And Nagin??? Gimme a break...
