I think Riser should run again- maybe people will vote the way they should’ve the first time. Is Elbert Guillory in the district?
Guillory is already a declared candidate for Lieutenant Governor in 2015, ostensibly so that will put him in line to become the 2nd Black Governor of LA (the 1st one was back during Reconstruction, P.B.S. Pinchback). Riser could run again if this story has legs. The only problem is that LA residents tend to be very liberal towards their elected officials with sex scandals, and this is very mild. Sen. Vitter would’ve been ruined had he lived in almost any other state with his prior scandal, but what saved him is an excellent voting record. But, with his running for Governor next year, I expect opponent Jay Dardenne will hammer him over it.
