"Wayne Carter is a strong candidate for Commissioner of Agriculture. He has a good blend of successful business background and solid conservative principles. Carter has built a solid reputation and is positioned to go win the race."
Town Hall Show, Tuesday, May 15th, 2007
"Yet state Rep. Mike Strain is still trying to sell a "phase out" of this barbarous cruelty to animals. He still offers ridiculous rationalizations about how the operators deserve time to sell off their inventory."
New Orleans City Business, May 14, 2007
"Odom just seems out of control. Has the spirit of Huey risen from the grave and invaded Odom's body?"
Greater Baton Rouge Business Report, May 10, 2005
"In an overt effort to circumvent the intent of the state ethics statutes AG Commissioner candidate Strain is holding a fundraising event in the middle of the legislative session in which he is actively voting on issues of import to all the special interests at the Capitol. If Strain is for higher ethical standards in Baton Rouge he should immediately cancel this event and stop his fundraising effort during the course of this session."

"...fundraising (for Wayne Carter) has become much easier in the past week due to a WAFB TV investigative report entitled "Bob the Builder" focusing on the activities of Commissioner Odom and the questionable decision by fellow Republican challenger Mike Strain to hold a major fundraiser in the middle of the legislative session.
Carter has also hired media consultant George Kennedy who is coming off an undefeated season after handling the races of Jay Dardenne (Secretary of State), Jim Donelon (Commissioner of Insurance) and William Cassidy (the upset winner in the race for Senate to replace Dardenne)."

"With those corruption charges still fresh in the minds of voters -- for which he was vindicated in court, but not in the press -- Agriculture Commissioner Bob Odom is a walking target this fall.
Carter, meanwhile, may surface as a reliable source for fresh ideas this campaign cycle, and his consultants plan on bringing the pitches to voters. While he owns a company that sells offshore drilling equipment, Carter also has roots in north Louisiana and the timber industry.
He wants an inspector general on the administrative level to oversee the massive department - from florists and loggers to hog farmers and gas station owners. He is also fond of specialty-crops and believes organic farming could in part help Louisiana compete nationally. But one of his more ingenious ideas would pair up Louisiana farmers with local school districts, accomplishing two tasks: Creating a new market for agriculture professionals and providing healthy alternatives to young students at a price schools will jump at. Still, Carter won't be lying down; he'll take his swipes at Odom at every available opportunity as well, possibly just not over the airwaves."
