If you voted for Darden or Angelle, you’re no conservative. Or you haven’t been paying attention over the past 20 or 30 years of Louisiana politics.
Yeah, I mean I was down with backing someone other than Vitter but those 2 that ran against him are RINOs, yes? Is one even better than the other? Vitter is a solid conservative so that’s an easy choice.
And I’ll note there have been polls showing Edwards in close runoffs with them as well so I ain’t even so sure one of them would haved guaranteed victory.
The main reason Edwards has a chance is Jindal is so unpopular (why? I’m not sure, a few freepers accuse him of raping the state’s finances but isn’t that what the dems are saying?) not Vitter’s sexcapades which were already public knowledge 4 months ago when he was leading comfortably in the polls.
