Finally. Sixth Sense.

Louisiana's Sixth District Congressional race has tightened up in the last 24 hours, and that may well give the GOP a chance in November to undo their election embarrassment this past spring.

Last night, Woody Jenkins announced he will not loose again run, and this afternoon State Senator Bill Cassidy, MD, was endorsed by the State GOP as the Republican candidate for the seat.

(As regular readers know, I supported Laurinda Calongne in the last election, and wold have preferred she give it a go this time. But I understand her reasons. Laurinda is looking to keep busy politically, so I know we'll see more of her in the future.)

Washington's Politico thinks a now-unified GOP (with no Woody Jenkins as candidate) has a decent chance to regain the seat. I hope they're right.
