Louisiana Campaigns Tread Water Until Vitter’s Race
Roll Call Politics ^ | July 16, 2015 | Eli Yokley

Posted on 07/16/2015 3:51:39 PM PDT by Clintonfatigued

For a number of ambitious Republicans in Louisiana, a whole lot hinges on the state’s gubernatorial election later this year — and Sen. David Vitter.

Vitter is one of four candidates facing off in the Pelican State’s “jungle primary” in October. He will be up against two other Republicans and one Democrat in a race that, unless a single candidate gets half the vote, would advance the two top candidates to a runoff in late November.

If he ultimately emerges as the victor — and that’s still an “if”— a brand new set of ifs would arise and leave politicians at several levels in Louisiana stuck watching and waiting.

Vitter has not said whether he would resign immediately and let outgoing Gov. Bobby Jindal pick his replacement, or wait to vacate the seat at the same time he is sworn in as governor. But it’s no secret Vitter’s relationship with the two-term governor is strained: Jindal has refused to endorse Vitter, and Vitter has criticized the state’s “broken fiscal policy” under Jindal’s watch.

No Lizzy, you shouldn’t do that more. I don’t wanna see your ab flab on the cover of a magazine. We don’t want our models to look like average people.

I hope to wed an 80-year oil widow for her money, then trade her in for four 20 year olds.

A whore is still a more honorable profession than a senator, in my opinion.

Perhaps, perhaps.

But given the choice would you rather be a gigolo (female clients but all old and/or fat) or a Senator? Assume your gigolo income would equal a Senator’s salary and that as a Senator you’d be reasonably ensconced and safe from defeat in the next election.

I struck out today. had no chance with the Chinese girl. her English was bad and she was thinking in Chinese not to talk to perverts.

I’m off my game. tomorrow another day. better visit the fieldmarshal inspirational motivational page.

Pete, you should tell her you have a 13-inch wang in Chinese. Tell her you want to take her for a spin on it. I keep mine up on a shelf. It hasn’t gotten much use in a dozen years.

every single one of them gals comes with their own divorce attorney attached. So it is a good sign that I am afraid of them. They are scary.

Pre-Nups are very limited in their effectiveness. I don't have any photos of that.

Maybe you should go straight to China to get a woman. Be sure to pack your wang for the trip in case you need it.

What is San Diego?

“on a personal note, I’ve done 9 lbs. in 25 days.”

Do you mean lost 9 pounds?

who is the last Red Sox pitcher to throw a no-hitter?

that was the correct answer for about 35 years.

down 9 lbs since July 1.

I am an impatient blimp. The next 18 cannot come off fast enough.

But not for the last 14.

“down 9 lbs since July 1.”

Good for you. Homer Simpson lost weight when he stopped drinking beer.

Great Tweet by the Cubs: https://mobile.twitter.com/Cubs/status/625080182462787584

Let the Phillies point out the details of the no-hitter.
