The Edwards victory is also the death knell of the Confederate monuments in New Orleans. This will cost taxpayers a fortune and insult LA traditions. Voters though are not smart enough to see ahead.
Or maybe smart enough to realize that if you keep electing people you can’t trust, you continue having problems.
The issue here is as usual, the GOP putting up candidates people don’t want and won’t vote for. If Vitter was remotely more trustworthy than a Democrat, it stands to reason he wouldn’t be struggling/losing against and to a Democrat. And considering the damage the Dems and GOP have dine, he obviously must have been pretty pathetic a candidate with an even more pathetic party behind him to lose.
