The race in question is Louisiana’s Third District: the loss of a House seat in redistricting has caused two incumbent Republican Congressmen to face each other in this November’s… “Election Day primary” is probably the best way to describe it: everybody runs at once, and if no candidate gets above 50% then the top two candidates go to a runoff.  One of those candidates is Rep. Jeff Landry.  We talked for a bit about the race:

Freshman Republican Jeff Landry (LA), on why he passed up a chance to meet with the President:

“I have respectfully declined the president’s invitation to the White House today,” Rep. Jeff Landry (La.) said in a statement. “I don’t intend to spend my morning being lectured to by a president whose failed policies have put our children and grandchildren in a huge burden of debt.”

Worse, Landry would have been tediously lectured to… although I must admit that President Obama is a bit of an expert on debt.  After all, he’s had plenty of recent hands-on experience in creating it.
