I hope Richard Ieyoub jumps into the Senate race. He could split the RAT vote in the jungle primary.

Actually that worries me. If Ieyoub gets in and splits the vote, he could hold Vitter under 50% and they'll be a run-off between Vitter and the Democrat, where he'll be free of Bush's coattails. I think in that scenario Vitter could probably beat Ieyoub, but I'm doubtful on Chris John.

Ieyoub could be a very strong candidate..... He and John would be fighting over the same Southwest LA vote. In addition Ieyoub has been elected statewide as Attorney General three times I believe. That will give him strong ties to many law enforcement agencies in each parish such as the sheriff and local District Attorney.
