Politics are local. Edwards' election was a sign of disgust at a man like Vitter and fallout from the absolute mess Jindal left the state budget in. If the Dems think that they can cruise to a Senate win next year then they may be disappointed. That, too, will depend on who the nominees are.
RE: the absolute mess Jindal left the state budget in.
This is interesting to me. The only way Louisiana’s budget would be a mess is Jindal cut taxes and then INCREASED SPENDING TO AN INTOLERABLE LEVEL. Did he do that?
