Is Buddy Caldwell particularly vulnerable ? Landry might be better off waiting for the ‘16 Senate race if Vitter is elevated (then again, Vitter could elevate Landry at once if he wins). Has there been any definitive talk as to whom Vitter will appoint to his seat (since presumably he won’t vacate it early to allow Jindal to do so) ?
He seems to be. There are a few articles that talk about Caldwell’s vulnerability. The Landry challenge is for real; Vitter’s endorsed him and I’m already hearing radio ads on Rush and Sean Hannity’s shows.
