Republican U.S. Sen. David Vitter will be a candidate in Louisiana's 2015 governor's race. Vitter announced his plans in an email to supporters on Tuesday, saying "I believe that as our next governor, I can have a bigger impact addressing the unique challenges and opportunities we face in Louisiana."
The Associated Press obtained the announcement from Vitter's staff. Vitter's announcement ends months of speculation. His decision is expected to influence which other potential candidates enter the race.
Gov. Bobby Jindal is term-limited. Republican Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne has said he will run for governor, along with state Rep. John Bel Edwards, chairman of the House Democratic Caucus. Others are considering the position.
Vitter can run for governor without forfeiting his current position, which isn't up for re-election until 2016.

I have no real problem with him being gov. He is a pompous prick, but at least he is conservative on economic policies.
Wish he would not push the hypocritical social agenda as much as he does.
There will be no corruption by him and he is committed to La, so he will probably have the balls to go in and make some tough reforms that Bobby didn't really want to tackle.

Sorry to hear that. Louisiana was doing reasonably well too.
Looks like another good reason to support Dardenne.

I can't imagine that will play well in louisiana. But I don't know local politics in your area.

This has been a nice little thread today, but don't let this distract you R's from the true matter at hand. We have to beat Mary. Pick one candidate and get behind him 100%. Don't sit around wishing for the perfect person to fit your exact agenda.
