My pastor said this morning that early voting lines in Lafayette were out the door and down the sidewalk.

People think they want Rispone to win but in reality both choices are terrible and we need to just let JBE finish out 4 more years and get some serious candidates

It is very close. It could go either way. Make sure everyone votes. I early voted already. I don't get that feeling anyone is "pulling away."

I’m not going to mindlessly vote conservative just to have a republican in office who is incompetent. That only makes republicans look bad. Let JBE finish his term and then get a SERIOUS republican candidate in office. Someone with political experience

The end of JBE's first term was a certainty before it even really began. First, he basically had to trade his second term to get elected to his first term. He took so much money from the trial attorney's they owned him which put him in an impossible political situation. I will give him that he did what he had to do to get elected and managed a bad situation as best he could. His closest staff members, who are basically children and incompetent at best, encouraged him to win over the people who were against him while ignoring his base of voters and often times alienating his base to appease his detractors.

JBE was an amazing legislator. He was wicked smart, articulate and not afraid to fight for what was best for the state of Louisiana. But that is when he represent a constituency of 21,000 in a rural district not all that much concerned with what was going on in Baton Rouge. He has been an awful Governor with his hands tied and afraid to make the tough decisions.

JBE and the citizens of Louisiana would have been better served to stay in the House and/or Senate where he would have been the next John Alario. I imagine in the next four years you will be able to find him reading books at Barnes & Noble with Buddy Roemer.

Neither, I genuinely don’t think Rispone would do good and I don’t want that being a reflection of Republicans....like jindal was

Eddie is doing this for the attention, the guy doesn’t really care to run the state.

Yeah let’s be real and NOT try and compare Donald trump to Eddie Rispone

Trump is a multi billionaire and proven to succeed in multiple industries and had tried to run for the presidency before. There were tons of signs that showed trump would be a successful president.

I am interested in the SOS race. I saw him one day on business with a former friend of mine at the capitol. Not a fan of him based on what I’ve heard. Friend is really political. Connected to nursing homes.
