The Lt. Govenership must be pretty weak cosidering that he ran in the Democratic primary for New Orleans, which you would think would be a step down. One issue for him could be that he may not be seen as conservative enough to defeat Vitter, as well as voters perhaps not wanting anothoer Landrieu in the senate. He also has only faced weak opposition in his current position. Im not sure if he would want to run, although he wouldn't have to give up the Lt. Governor's chair thanks to LA. state level elections being held on odd numbered years.

He has a power base as Lieutenant Governor and good name recognition. In a primary with a number of candidates he would seem to have a good chance of winning. Anyone know why his name has not been put forth, as yet? I would be surprised if Mitch Landrieu doesn’t decide to get into the race.
