re: Opinions on Kip Holden

Good candidate with vision, but he's kind of gone off the deep end the past 5-6 years. The few times I've dealt with him personally, he came off as a good politican.

I think he had a chance at higher, statewide office had he not made some mistakes in the more recent past.

Downtown Baton Rouge is head and shoulders better than it was when I started undergrad at LSU. It turned around rapidly to the point where I've seen media in other parts of the country use Baton Rouge as an example of how to property reinvigorate a downtown setting. LINK

I know a lot of that started under Bobby Simpson, but I think Holden has a good vision for the city even though he's taken the wrong stance on numerous things.
