Not surprising considering Vitter’s personal challenges.
Jindal’s high negatives cost Vitter.
“Not surprising considering Vitter’s personal challenges.”
Yeah, we kinda got what we deserved on this one.
This is where you need a strong state party that can step in and manage the process - Vitter brought such awful baggage they should have found a way to get him out of the race in favor of an electable alternative.
For what it’s worth, Louisiana didn’t elect Edwards. New Orleans elected Edwards with help from Monroe and Shreveport, the other two liberal bastions in this otherwise beautiful state. Louisiana has always had a way of coming up with tough choices. We never vote for someone: we’re always voting against someone. Take Jindal for example. This country thought he was a tough conservative as he was running for president. People like Rush and Hannity thought he was such a worthy contender. Jindal is a better huckster than Bill Clinton. He can sure talk it up with a camera in front of him but, in reality, Pyush Jindal is a tax and spend Republicrat. We pay the highest state taxes in the deep south. Like Obama, he was mostly absent from his office, endlessly involved in pursuits to embellish his resume’. He also hated Vitter and refused to endorse Vitter in our guv’s race.
