Cousin Gary for Governor???

This is a salient point.

If Landrieu was really politically savvy, he would come out as pro-choice and start bashing Edwards for signing the fetal heartbeat bill. Were he to do that he’d have an opportunity to perhaps climb into the teens, capitalizing on the angst among the Democrat base over Edwards’ pro-life stance, and at that point Edwards really would be in danger of finishing second in the primary.

If JBE has to spend money to shore up his liberal base in red state Louisiana, he's a dead duck that's not winning anything.

Abrahahm just picked up boysie bollinger and joe canizarro so his numbers should start perking up.

Do you know how I could find out how much each of the candidates have raised say over the last month or quarter? It seems that Abraham has a good bit of momentum right now, but his cash on hand is 1/10 of either Rispone or Edwards.

Right now after a quick google search, I can't find anything but he did just announce a new campaign finance committee that has a quite a bit of Louisiana's major GOP donors.

BATON ROUGE, La – Today, Ralph Abraham announced his Louisiana gubernatorial campaign finance committee. The finance committee is made up of a wide variety of influencers and business leaders from every corner of the state.



“We believe that Ralph Abraham is the best choice to serve as the next Governor of the State of Louisiana and will work to ensure his campaign has the financial resources necessary to beat John Bel Edwards.” – Boysie Bollinger, Abraham Finance Committee Chairman



“I’m excited about the announcement of our Statewide Finance Committee,” said Ralph Abraham, the leading Republican candidate for Governor of Louisiana. “Our momentum is growing, and this puts us on an equal financial playing field with John Bel. Louisianians are sick of watching this state lose. They are ready for change and a leader who will put Louisiana Families First. That’s exactly what we’re going to do.”

By the way, money isn't the end all be all.

John Georges had 13 million to spend in 2007 against Bobby Jindal and Jindal still won outright in the first round anyway.

And Ralph Abraham has more money than JBE ever did at this point in 2015.

Campaign cash is a mixed bag of predicting election results.

When I saw this title I thought it meant Gary Chambers was now running for Governor.

yeah, both big jindal supporters

Boysie donated money to JBE this year dude.

So if Boysie is signing up for Abraham's finance committee, that should tell you a lot about how JBE is looking for October.
