I took a call at the Square the other day for a poll on the Mayor’s race and, from the questions being asked, I had a feeling I couldn’t shake that Mitch Landrieu is thinking about getting back in. I only say this because one of the questions was along the lines of, “What would you think if Landrieu reentered the race?” With, “He wants what is best for New Orleans” among the answers. I was distracted a bit and a more politcally minded person may have been able to gleen more from the conversation but it sure seemed like feelers were being put out. There were a lot of questions about candidates that were already running and Landrieu was the only “potential candidate” that was being asked about and there were more questions being asked about him than any of the others.
I finished the poll by saying, “Tell Mitch to go ahead and run.”
