Quote of the Day

Jeremy Alford on the current tripartite power struggle in Louisiana politics:

Even if Jindal serves out his second term, the contests for lieutenant governor and secretary of state are all about who will succeed Bobby Jindal — regardless of whether it happens mid-term or in the next round of statewide elections in 2015 — and who will lead the Louisiana GOP going forward. As for the political dynamics, it all comes down to a trio of teams.

That’s three factions fighting over two jobs. It’s like a game of musical chairs, but one in which only Republicans play and the music sucks.
