Interesting strategic decision, Billy Nungesser.

Don’t look for attack ads in the lieutenant governor’s runoff between Democrat Kip Holden and Republican Billy Nungesser.

“We have agreed that we are going to run a campaign dealing with the issues at hand and not get into the mudslinging,” said Holden, who is Baton Rouge mayor.

Nungesser, former Plaquemines Parish president, said he told Holden “I’m running nothing but positive ads.”

Any particular reason for that?
