If Vitter, with all his baggage, manages to win this race, it will foretell a huge R win next year.
We've already seen signs: The big midterm election last year, the Kentucky governorship and other races this year. If Louisiana is added on to the list...
We'll be talking about a probable blowout next year.
It sure will. I think people are just at the end of their rope with this admin.
if vitter miracliously wins, then the paris attack and the syrian refeguees are what saved him. then we get to hear for the next 4 years on how vitter channeled david duke.
>>”If Vitter, with all his baggage..”
The guy is certainly blessed with his wife, Wendy:

A lot of liberals who left after Katrina have filtered back in, plus a lot of new techies have come in, attracted by Jindal’s pro-business policies, but bringing their socially liberal ideas with them.
There are people on FR who attack Jindal, and seem to want the Dems back in power in Louisiana. Blanco’s “budget surplus” was actually billions in disaster aid that was in danger of disappearing into democrat pockets, as usual.
New Orleans was a mess two years after Katrina; I finally gave up and left.
Then Jindal got elected. I went back for the 10th anniversary and was astounded at the recovery.
Jindal had used the disaster aid as it was intended—to fix things.
South LA was better than I’d ever seen it, including before Katrina. Business —offshore oil and everything that ties into it—was booming.
The left wants EPA to put oil companies out of business.
Obama was there for Katrina’s 10th, and he was yapping about climate change. The NO paper was pimping his every word.
You’re right, this is a race worth watching.
Actually, KY and LA governorships have never to my knowledge been a reliable forecast for the presidential election the following year. Vitter is in deep trouble I think in part because he did not start active campaigning soon enough and acted earlier like he had a sure victory just waiting.
Cheating on your wife is baggage? Since when?
Oh wait, I forgot he’s a Republican! /lol
