True, it may not be a sign of the Democrat party’s revival,
but I do believe it is a sign of the American voter’s disgust with the Republican Party.
A democrat who is pro-gun and pro-life, a West Point Graduate and a Veteran beat a sleazy republican who used hookers and alienated every single conservative in his state in the primary.
I am SURE the democrats will be able to copy this WINNING strategy.
No, but their wins in the Governors Race and Supreme Court races here in PA may be.
They have truly taken their Alinsky gutterball tactics to a whole new level with those.

Governor-elect John Bel Edwards called expanding Medicaid “among the highest priorities” of his new administration, though he said Sunday (Nov. 22) he may not be able to approve an expanded program on Day One.
The only Republican/Conservative that lost in Louisiana last Saturday was David Vitter, a terrible, flawed candidate. Both the Lt. Governor & Attorney General slots were handily won by Republican candidates. The newly elected Governor, Democrat, John Bel Edwards, is standing alone against a total field of Republican Conservatives!!! The Democrat won nothing of any stature last Saturday.....other then thousands of Republican/Conservatives that could just not stand David Vitter!!!
Ya all can thank Bobby Jindal and the state Republican Party for this loss. They both knew that Vitter was zero from the gitgo!!! The ggod news is that Vitter has stated, he will not run for re-election to the U.S. Senate, next year!!!
All the Dems had to do was run commercials against Vitter with the theme song from American Gigolo-—”Call me”.
...Followed by his post-electoral mad dash back toward the liberal wing of his party on social issues.
Nice wins for the GOP on the Louisiana downticket races... Like the state Senate and House of Delegates here in Virginia have rendered Terry McAuliffe relatively harmless, the same will happen in LA.
Politics are local. Edwards' election was a sign of disgust at a man like Vitter and fallout from the absolute mess Jindal left the state budget in. If the Dems think that they can cruise to a Senate win next year then they may be disappointed. That, too, will depend on who the nominees are.
