Throwing a wrench into a crowded New Orleans mayoral contest that seemed to be all but set on the eve of qualifying, Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu appears poised to enter the race for the open seat today, reversing a midsummer announcement that he would opt out.
Sources close to Landrieu, who lost a tight runoff to Mayor Ray Nagin in 2006, said the lieutenant governor will attend a morning news conference at Cafe Reconcile and urged reporters to be on hand. Landrieu could not be reached for comment.
