	SR.com: Louisiana's Blanco Won't Run Again
		Blanco has been burdened by the sluggish pace of recovery and by pressure within the Democratic Party, but she said she wanted to push through important initiatives without having to worry about political considerations.
		Blanco's chief of staff, Jimmy Clarke, said the governor made her decision at the end of last week and that low poll numbers and Breaux played no role in it.
		Blanco was seen as so politically weakened by hurricanes Katrina and Rita that Democratic powerbrokers questioned behind the scenes whether she was re-electable or whether she should step aside to give another Democratic candidate a better chance at the post.

	Good try, Bobby (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The Washington Post was one among many papers that suggested that Blanco's blistering attack, late into the campaign, on Bobby Jindal's record as the state's secretary of health had much to do with helping voters making up their minds.
		The Times Picayune elaborated on that theme; it added that Blanco's final televised appearance, which included an emotional moment in which she tearfully recalled the death of her son in an accident at work, put a human face on the Democratic candidate that contrasted with Jindal's appearance of a crisp-talking, number-crunching policy wonk.
		One of the few profiles of the victorious candidate appears in USA Today, which suggests that Blanco came across as a trustworthy candidate with no skeletons in her closet -- a huge asset in a state that boasts one governor who was assassinated and another who is now spending time in a federal prison.
