| Description | "A decision about whether to attempt a redraw of Louisiana's Congressional lines appears to rest on Gov. Kathleen Blanco (D), and Democratic strategists are deeply divided about her intentions," Roll Call reports.
"Blanco has so far shown little appetite for taking on the politically divisive issue. But she has been the subject of an intense behind-the-scenes lobbying effort to sway her, the effect of which remains unclear."
"The thinking goes that by wading into a partisan re-redistricting effort, Blanco would face the likelihood of upsetting the fragile coalition that helped elect her in 2003, and jeopardize her 2007 re-election." |
