Or will 30% of the Republicans stay home and the Democrats get out the vote because they smell a statehouse pick-up?
That could very well happen..Vitter ran some very childish and hateful ads against his GOP rivals..Angelle and Dardenne won't actually endorse Edwards, but they won't do any heavy lifting for Vitter..now the only carrot that Vitter has is his US Senate seat which would become vacant with Vitter's election..he could go to Angelle and say that he will back him for that seat for his active support..just a guess..

A very low voter turnout was expected, and it turned out even lower than what the pessimists had estimated. They estimated 45%, and got 38%. This was per a radio news report, anyway.

I’m afraid you have posted the most apt scenero. But we cannot discount t the impact that Out Of State Democratic Money will flood the political swamps of Louisiana and cause large voter turnouts in New Orleans Parish.
Additionally, the Democrats will spend millions to remind voters about Vitter’s long ago relationship with prostitutes, even though Vitter did not have sex with them, but instead wanted someone from outside the politics hall of Washington who he could talk to and maybe help improve her life.
