Mansess isn’t gonna win any statewide election “handily”. Voters tend to prefer people with records, people that they’ve heard of, like conservative Congressman Bill Cassidy. Not random guys with no political experience who say they are conservative. Many people will be interested in Vitter’s seat.
I’m sure you’re probably correct.
I thought according to some “experts” on Louisiana politics here at FRee Republic - some who don’t even live in the state - Maness was the “Tea Party” candidate.

Congressman Bill Cassidy spent Saturday shoring up support on the right wing of the Republican Party at a Northshore Tea Party rally.
Flanked by U.S. Sen. David Vitter and House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, Cassidy shared the stage with conservative favorite Dr. Ben Carson at the event in the woods near Abita Springs.
Cassidy, of Baton Rouge, is the leading Republican candidate challenging the re-election of U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu.
