re: Louisiana folks, does this Rispone guy have a shot?

To make a football analogy, Rispone is a 6'4" 220 lb guy who runs a 4.38 40, wants to play WR, and has never played a down of football in his life. And now he wants to play in the NFL.

He's going to turn a few heads and draw interest, but that's not going to be enough by itself.

Rispone's stats and background checks some boxes - He's MAGA, he's a successful businessman in a state that desperately needs more successful businesses, he's a bit of an outsider (but still knows enough people to get stuff done).

And he's got enough money where he doesn't need to heavily depend on fundraising.

The commericals he is running now are the ones he should have been running 3-4 months ago - basic introduction material. He also seems like he's been doing a lot of small-bit campaign stuff - speaking at small civic meetings, fleshing out ideas, etc.

It's time for him to start talking about how he is going to make Louisiana better. IF he has good ideas and can package them in an easy to understand way, he would have a great shot at winning.

But he hasn't done that yet.

Another football analogy, he's the QB of a team on their own 10 yard line, down by 5, 90 seconds left in the game... but he's got an offense capable of getting it done. Which means he has a shot.
