A one term Republican governor who beat Edwin Edwards to become Governor and then was beat by Edwards in the next election. He opposed casino gambling, which Edwards championed. That and other missteps cost him the election.

I have met him during his campaigns. He is intelligent and well spoken, but if Mitt Romney is too liberal for the Republican party, Buddy Roemer will look like Teddy Kennedy.

Thanks.

He's courting both the Reform and Citizens Elect parties, hoping to run left of Romney and right of Obama on a third-party run as a movement candidate. His issue is Campaign Finance reform, which he says is the key to Health Care Reform, education reform, budget reform and so on.

If he runs on C-E, he'll need a D in the second slot on the ticket.

Since I vote third party, I'm trying to figure out if I want to go to the prom with him.

When was the last candidate that didn't run on campaign finance reform?

...while taking PAC donations. He's doing the populist thing and only taking personal donations of $100 or less.

Easy to do when you don't plan to win, of course. But a third party always shifts the conversation toward populism for the duration of the election, and since they have nothing to lose, they get some good hits in on the other two along the way. I'm all for it, if I can stomach the third-party candidate.

Because the nation is squeamish about reading his lips.

Just to clarify for people who aren't familiar with Louisiana politics: primaries there contain all candidates from both parties, so it sometimes happens that you get two candidates from the same party finishing first and second, and squaring off in the general election. At the time Roemer beat Edwards, he was still a Democrat. When he switched parties, he pissed off so many people on both sides that David Duke finished ahead of him the next time he ran.

A Louisiana politician running as a reformer? Yeah, that sounds believable.
