LA: GOP Candidates Promise Unity in Runoff

[goobergunch]

The four Republican candidates for governor say they will support whichever one of them ends up in the Nov.15 runoff.

""I'll support any Republican that gets into the runoff, but I expect to be that Republican," said former state and federal health official Bobby Jindal.

"We've got to all come together and get behind one (Republican) and move forward for Louisiana," added state Representative Hunt Downer. Downer also discouraged any other Republicans from entering the race. In recent weeks, it has been rumored that businessman Dennis Stine will run for governor as a Republican.

Former Legislative Auditor Dan Kyle and Public Service Commissioner Jay Blossman apparently agreed to the pledge in private, but haven't been specific in their public pronouncements.

1. it will be Blanco vs. Ieyoub

I live in a highly Repub area near N.O. and today received a mailing from Jay Blossman touting himself as a "conservative Republican" saying he's going to cut taxes and protect our values by fighting for pro-life legislation! Thank God he's at the very bottom of the list.

I'm sending him a letter telling him to take me OFF his mailing list because I'm a registered Democrat who has never once voted Repub and would certainly never consider voting for a "conservative Repub"! Geez, where'd he get my name?!?!? I almost burned the damn thing...
