QUESTION: (OFF-MIKE)

JEFFERSON: I expect to run for reelection, but that's a matter that's down the road. But I expect to run for reelection.

QUESTION: Would you concede that it does not look good at this point?

JEFFERSON: Well, I can't talk about the facts of the matter, with respect to whether things look good or don't look good, and therefore, I won't make a response to that.

Lots more solid entertainment at the above link. And yes, though I've been away from N.O. these past 15 years, I have a good idea who'd be just the man to run for the seat. Some of you might not love his politics, which were kind of proto-DLC, but his ethics haven't been called into question in twelve years as a judge down there.
