Labrador Aide Brings Louisiana Panache

So swift has been Rep. Raul Labrador’s rise — four years ago, he was in his first year in the Legislature; now he’s a Beltway talk-show darling — I figured it fair to ask whether he sees himself as president. His new communications director, after all, helped steer Herman Cain’s rocket, and jumped ship just before the smoking ad and sexual smoking guns. “No!” Labrador replied. “Don’t do it to me!” cracked his new mouthpiece, Ellen Carmichael (pictured). “Please!” But Carmichael, who spent 13 months with Cain, quickly added that she can picture the freshman GOP congressman as commander in chief. “Sure,” she said. “Not now, but sure. His principles are rooted in a great American Dream story about the industriousness and ingenuity of our people and the opportunities in this country. That was something about Herman Cain that I see in Congressman Labrador”/ Dan Popkey , Idaho Statesman. More here.

Question: Can you see Idaho Congressman Raul Labrador as a future U.S. president?
