Or also called the "Blue Darter"? It is a large snake and can be very aggressive although it is not poisonous.

I'm not familiar with the names blue runner or
blue darter. However there is a blue racer, a
color form of the blacksnake, that is blue beneath. In the south there is also a large snake called the indigo snake, which is among
the largest U.S. snakes. Blue racers are at
times aggressive. I don't know about the indigo
snake because I haven't seen them in the wild.

To follow up on the previous answer, Racers in general tend to be both quite aggressive and difficult to 'tame' They are also quite fast, as snakes go (hence the name 'racer'), and may be the snakes you are referring to. I'm not sure how common a blue morph of the common Black Racer is, though. Black Racers can grow up to 4+ feet in length, and are distinguished by a darkbelly and white throat. The other common 'blacksnake' is the Black Rat Snake, which has an 'old ivory'-colored belly, tends to be slower-paced and much less aggressive, and makes a terrific pet (very placid and easily handled, settles down well in captivity). The easy way to tell them apart is this: if it bites you once and settles down, it's a rat snake; if it never stops biting you, it's a racer.
The other snake mentioned before, the Indigo Snake, may also be the one mentioned, although in many ways it's more like a rat snake than a racer; it's not terribly fast or aggressive, and tends to have a more placid temperament. Indigo Snakes may make good pets, but they are not very common any more, partly because people catch them so much because they're very pretty snakes. All these snakes regularly get to be large (in the sense of 3-4'), none are venomous, but all will bite on being picked up at first. Racers are the only one of the three that doesn't take well to being handled.

The constitution is the book of law of the United States of America. That is why Ron Paul must win.
