A Kennedy We Can Support
John Kennedy - running against Senator Mary in Louisiana…the State which just had a major shift to the GOP:
In a little less than a year, Louisianians will go to the polls to elect our next United States Senator. In doing so, our people will decide who they want to represent our state and our values in Washington, D.C.
I want you to be the first to know that today I will take the first steps and file the necessary paperwork to run for the United States Senate in 2008. I plan to officially kick off the campaign early next year. Please know that Becky and I made this decision carefully, after much thought, prayer and discussion.
Over the next few months, I will lay the groundwork of support for an aggressive campaign that will focus on a frank discussion of the issues and how I will help move Louisiana forward working in tandem with our new reform leadership in Baton Rouge.
Face it, fellow GOPers, it would be cool on a lot of levels to win this one - first off, it gets a Democrat out of the Senate (always a good thing); secondly, its a pickup opportunity in a year when the GOP will have its work cut out just to hang on in the Senate; thirdly, it’ll just be too sweet to have a Kennedy to contrast with the “other” Kennedy…heck, who knows?, maybe the contrast will finally wake the people of Massachusetts up to the fact that they’ve been re-electing a bloated lefty all these years?
