This part is worth noting, as it is from the native newspaper:

An Edwards administration is expected to be a marked shift from Gov. Bobby Jindal's approach to public policy over the past eight years. The Democrat is expected to bring Medicaid expansion to Louisiana shortly after taking office, meaning thousands of more Louisiana residents could have access to health insurance in a couple of months. Teachers unions and other organized labor groups will also have more of a voice with Edwards than they ever had with Jindal.

ok, so he is coming out the gate AGAINST the attempted MEDICAID CHOKE that many other governors, including my own Rick Scott, are doing. He is embracing Teacher's unions! I can tell this person must be ignoring the memos sent out by Debbie Wasserman Scultz.

Louisiana, I salute you. May you teach Kentucky and Florida that you CAN elect decent governors!

Go Edwards, bring Louisiana into the 21 century. The South has been slowly smothered by the elephant sitting on it.
