I would love to see someone like Eddie Rispone make a race out of this thing, but he's got no name recognition outside of Baton Rouge. And on the flip side, few people south of Alexandria know who Ralph Abraham is. Maybe I'm being too pessimistic, but I've just lost a lot of confidence in the collective wisdom of Louisiana voters over the past several years.
Eddie can fix his name ID problem really easy. That's what his $10 million war chest is for. He's going to go up on TV next month and once he does he isn't coming down.
Maybe that gets him into the runoff, maybe it doesn't. But once either him or Abraham gets in it's a straight D-vs.-R race. There's no hookers or other bullshite scandal out there to give it flavor like you had in 2015, and neither Ralph nor Eddie is likely to stab the other in the back in the runoff like Dardenne and Angelle did four years ago.
And a Democrat hasn't won a straight D-vs.-R race in Louisiana since 2008 when Landrieu beat Kennedy to keep her seat in the Senate.

But Rispone worked with Jindal.
They need a straw man, Jindal is it.

GOP partisans only wish it was so simple.
The real problem, which you refuse to acknowledge is that eight years of Bobby Jindal elected JBE. And Jindal as governor with GOP majorities in both houses yielded a pure- Grover Norquist record for all to see and enjoy. And it nearly killed us, just as it nearly killed Kansas.
The real problem for any GOP nominee is ultimately: How is your vision different from Jindal/ Norquist?

The Democrat was the incumbent in that statewide race too, and there's a lot of people who have been added to the Medicaid rolls since then as a result of the incumbent Democrat governor.
