Apparently the 79 year old former governor (Louisiana's first Republican governor since Reconstruction) is going to run for the US Congress again, seeking to fill the seat of newly elected governor Bobby Jindal. He last sought that seat after former House Speaker designate Bob Livingston suddenly resigned. In that race he lost the Republican nomination to David Vitter, who has of course moved on to the US Senate. I don't expect him to be any more successful this time. While the field hasn't taken shape yet, I'd think the Steve Scalise, Kevin Davis and Tom Schedler are more likely to win.
