What about the democratic process?
 By the time qualifying concludes Thursday, Gov. Bobby Jindal will all but be declared the winner of the Oct. 22 primary election.
That's assuming Jindal's chief opponent – if you want to describe her as that – remains Tara Hollis, a school teacher from Haynesville. Hollis is expected qualify by Thursday. Other minor candidates may follow suit.
A Democrat who has no campaign organization to speak of and very little money to run on, Hollis is relying on free media to spread her message. In other words, Hollis has been forced to turn to press reports about her campaign appearances to tell voters who she is and what she stands for. It's still unclear what the latter would entail since Hollis spends so much of her time telling us everything Jindal has done wrong in lieu of informing us of what she would do if the people elected her.
Hollis has friends, though. It's not the state Democrat Party as one would think.
Instead, Hollis' friends would be some members of the media, who have tried in vain to breathe life into her candidacy for governor. Remember, Jindal has never been on very friendly terms with many members of the working press, and when members of the working press have been afforded an opportunity to stick it to Jindal, they've done it and will continue to do it at every turn.For the full story, subscribe to the The Concordia Sentinel's NEW E-Edition! |
