Since I find it so hard to believe that voters in Louisiana have finally come to their senses, there’s only one explanation for this - skewed polls!

Git 'er done, Edwards! We need to elect more Democrats everywhere to restore sanity to our national dialog, and a Southern governorship is a good place to start.

I think 50 minus 42 is 8, but I’m not a journalist.

So, 50/50 shot that there will be massive irregularities that somehow make Vitter the winner?

Yeah, that’s why you actually bothered to do the math. A ‘journalist’ doesn’t put in that much effort.

OK, so Vitter by 5 in the run-off then. <bows head dejectedly>

Yes, with a margin of error of Republicans-are-dirty-fixers, AP is calling this race for Vitter.

Can you imagine that everrtme you looked at your governor you imagined prostitutes putting a diaper on him after a good spanking? This is the best the GOP has to offer in the South? How did the rest of the Senators do it all these years?

Clearly David just needs to pull his diaper up and get out there and do some campaigning. I tell ya, that man is a winner.

I won’t even begin to get my hopes up, not before I see half a dozen polls showing even remotely similar results. That said, LA is ripe for the picking if minorities, young people, and women would just freakin’ vote. It’s only about 60% white and is nearly 33% black. A Blue Dog Democrat can win there, especially against a woefully flawed candidate like Vitter.

He’s always got his fallback position in the Senate when he loses though, so it’s pretty much a ‘free play’ as they would say in the NFL.

If he blows this shot at governor he’ll just keep on keepin’ on.

Gee, I guess no one “Luvs” him anymore. Maybe they think he was just too “Pampered” while he was a Senator. Oh, well. His faithful wife can always keep up his spirits with some kisses and “Huggies”.

Perhaps after 8 years of Jindal totally effing up the state perhaps even the very red state of LA is open to trying something else.

I can’t recall, is Vitter vacating his Senate seat or is he looking to stay in the Senate if he loses?

Huh?
