The question is, can we? Is it possible for Vitter to get 51% in Nov?

With Bush at the top of the ticket, the Dem vote split, and Vitter being the only candidate from the New Orleans area, yes it is possible. I'd say about a 35% of it happening.

I also think he can win the runoff quite easily if Bush is re-elected and we expand our majority in the Senate. He can simply say Louisiana cannot afford two senators from the najority party. Since most people in this state have their hand out, that argument will make sense to them.

If Bush loses, however, there is virtually no way Vitter can win the run off.
