Jindel. Jindel would have shut down all of the state's public hospitals and clinics because he doesn't believe that government has any business providing health care. Nevermind that the state hospital and clinic system has lower per-patient costs than Medicaid. His supporters in the hospital industry want more profits, so they wanted to torpedo the most efficient hospital and clinic system in the nation in favor of looting the public treasury for the benefit of private enterprise yet again.<BR/><BR/>So in the end, it was the lesser of two evils, and Blanco got in by default. As for "dirty campaigns", uhm, Republicans rote the book on dirty campaigns. It's about time that a Democrat got with the program and gave the Republicans some of what they dish out every election...<BR/><BR/>Of course, Blanco is entirely out of her depth handling anything more complicated than making a roux. Not to demean the complexity of making a roux, of course :-). It would have been nice having someone in charge. But you vote for the candidate you have, not for the candidate you want...<BR/><BR/>- Badtux the Louisiana PenguinBadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-1126715995212601902005-09-14T09:39:00.000-07:002005-09-14T09:39:00.000-07:00I can't stand her.

And I gotta either ...Yeah, well, I *AM* from there. And I gotta either laugh and make stupid jokes, or cry. I'm tired of crying. <BR/><BR/>And for the record, Blanco would make a perfectly fine big city mayor. She's good at making sure potholes get filled, the police have gas and bullets, taxes get collected, and public hospitals and clinics kept operational. But in this case, she was completely out of her depth. In the end someone had to step up and lead... and Blanco just didn't have the "right stuff" for that. <BR/><BR/>- Badtux the Louisiana PenguinBadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-1126634979534158372005-09-13T11:09:00.000-07:002005-09-13T11:09:00.000-07:00I guess it's not funny when you're from there...ev...I guess it's not funny when you're from there...even if you don't like Blanco.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
