Former Sen. Breaux may mount run for governor
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former Sen. John Breaux may mount a bid for governor of Louisiana, the Cook Political Report confirms.

Breaux, a Democrat who represented Louisiana as a representative and senator for 32 years, did not seek a fourth senate term in 2004.

According to the Cook Political Report, current Louisiana Democratic Gov. Kathleen Blanco, whose first term is up in 2008, has "privately" said she would step aside if Breaux or another established Democrat expressed interest in running.
