    The Lieutennant Governor would take over if the governor was recalled and would serve as governor until her term is over if a year or less remains. If more than a year remained, then a special election would be called. By the time a recall gathered enough signatures and survived court challenges, her term would be almost up.

    I still think the republican party would prefer to run against Blanco in a regular election year with all of the party apparatus. The democrats would put up a candidate without Blanco's baggage in a special election and would do better than Blanco running for re-election at the end of her term.

    Recalling Blanco would do the democrats a backhanded favor by permitting them to change candidates, which would be difficult with a Blanco incumbent.

    I don't really think the national perspective of Louisiana could be any worse.

    And anyone who thinks the US Congress is going to give $2 billion or $6 billion, whatever this Louisiana delegation tried to get, to let Blanco and the same cronies who got us in this mess steal it, you're all crazier than I thought. We aren't getting anything until some bigtime watchdogs are in place.....or a respected governor is in place.

    FREE EDWARDS!!!!! FREE EDWIN !!!!!!!!!!!! Believe it or not, I used to live two homes away from him. He used to come ask me if he could ride his horse out in my pecan orchard. The next house over now belongs to Jimmy Braggard, I mean Swagart!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was on Highland road. 20 something years ago. (I did not own that property, I rented it) But as people drove down Highland off the interstate to go to LSU games, I looked liked I was rich. DIDN'T OWN A BLADE OF GRASS THERE. LSU PROFESSORS USED TO BRING CLASSES OUT THERE TO STUDY BUSHES ON THE PROPERTY. HAD WHAT WAS CONSIDERED TO BE THE OLDEST OAK TREE IN LA. THE REAL OWNER HAD CABLES RUN THRU THE TREE TO HOLD UP LIMBS. YOU COULD WALK UP PART OF IT. NONE OF IT MINE
