Keep in mind though that we are the state which elected (shiver) Kathleen Babbling Blank-o (shudder) as our governor over the very talented and conservative Bobby Jindal. So, anything can happen, but Vitter's a fighter, and won't let up one bit.
Interestingly, Jindal has a huge lead in the race for Vitter's US House seat. Given the district, Jindal should win easily, giving us another conservative voice in Washington.

God bless ya, gbunch, but screw cautious optimism. That has tanked more Republican candidates than sex and class warfare combined. We all need to be ruthlessly realistic, get off our butts and work our keesters off till the polls indicate our candidates have a ten point lead, then do it all over again till its twenty. You sound like there's a good chance you already are, but a lot of people are just waiting for an excuse to "let George do it", and in my experience "optimism" is one of the most common ones. Our freedom is too valuable to leave it to "I hope I hope I hope". You probably don't mean it that way, but a lot of people take it that way.
God bless ya again
