Let the lameness begin

The Louisiana Democratic party officially nominated or endorsed or whatever they're calling it John Bel Edwards today  for .... zzzzzzzzzzzz.

Edwards's campaign is a dead issue from the beginning. The only story here, in fact, is that the nomination probably means that we can stop speculating about that never-was-gonna-happen Mitch campaign.

Members of the Democratic State Central Committee also said they wouldn't be making the endorsement if they thought another Democratic candidate was going to get into the race.

There has been a lot of speculation about whether New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu -- who tend to perform better in gubernatorial polls than Edwards -- would run for governor. He hasn't officially said that he won't run in the race.

We can stop worrying about that, right? Good because... oh what, Mary? 

Mary Landrieu did stop short of giving an official endorsement for Edwards.

"I will be making my endorsements very shortly," Mary Landrieu told the Democrats.

Ha ha. OK. What are the odds that she turns around and endorses Angelle?
