how would the "oil effect" help him Louisiana?
because he's not a Republican
In the public eyes Republican=Oil$$$
In LA now Oil=BAD
In the end, it will probably have no effect on LA's GOP trend. Its not like the GOP was in charge when it happened and the only way it could effect them is if they were in charge and botched the response. I don't think anyone beyond the enviro-fascists think we should stop oil production and drilling offshore. The stopping of that would hurt LA and MS more then this spill will. And people in LA realize that. However the GOP shouldn't be hesistant to demand accountability and some further regulation as some insurance just in case there is some slippage in the GOP trend.
Nice sarcasm by the way.
