Let’s assume you’re an ambulance-chasing trial lawyer. And you’ve just experienced a losing election as a vice-presidential candidate. And you want to be taken seriously as you announce your intent to run for the dimmocrat nomination for president.

Don’t you just suppose that it would be a peachy-keen idea to slide your pretty-haired ass down to that greatest of all symbols of the failure of dimmocrat programs, New Orleans, where you can make your announcement in the close vicinity of a dimmocrat mayor who ignored hundreds of school buses while his constituents drowned, and where the elected delegate to the House of Representatives is on record as having stored $90,000 in his freezer while his closest business associate was convicted of international bribery? And the governor has the LOWEST approval rating of any dimmocrat governor in the whole country?
