And while there hasn't been a whole lot of talk yet about who will be competing to replace Holden, behind the scenes, potential candidates are evaluating the landscape for 2016. So far, state Sen. Sharon Weston Broome has emerged as a clear front-runner on the Democratic side.

Political experts say she'll be hard to beat. She will have very strong appeal to the growing demographic of black voters in East Baton Rouge Parish, who political consultant John Couvillon estimates will make up 45 to 47 percent of the voter population by 2016.

The black vote alone won't be enough to get Broome over the 50 percent mark, but there is also a voting bloc of white liberals in East Baton Rouge Parish, mainly concentrated around LSU.

There could be worse people to be the front runner, I can tell you that.

She has it in the bag, she has the Temple pain train on board.

I may change my tune about St George *IF* that happens.

By 2016 will she be running for mayor/president of ebr parish or simply mayor of the city of baton rouge? How is it going to work after the st. george split? And i think her being named the hard to beat frontrunner will only help the st. George effort.

No way will she live up to Kip's legacy. Can't believe his time is up, but will be great to have him at Lieutenant Governor.

isn't Golfer running?

I was going to make a joke about you thinking all blacks look alike, but she does give off a Slaughter vibe, with the gold tooth in the 2nd picture. need to see if she does the whole drive a beat up mazda to work and a Mercedes Benz the rest of the time switcheroo, like ole DeeDee used to do. Poor ole mayor needs a raise.

Will she be another puppet for the rich white folk in BR and keep all of NBR "in check and happy"?

But does she have R. Kelly's endorsement? He does have the key to the city and a congregation of voters.

I was trying to tell somebody about that today. Who gave him the key to the city?

I'm pretty sure it was C. Denise Marcelle, a city council member.
