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.
One distinction here is that we are talking north La. Bible Belt. They might
not be willing to let him stay in. I understand that if he resigns, the election is called in six weeks. He made comments that being in Congress “sucks”- he needs to get out.
I agree about Vitter, his voting record saves him. Dardenne has some questionable votes in his Senate record that can hurt him with real conservatives.
But Vitter did not really admit to a thing.
