re: Can you guys explain to me (a Mississippian) how Louisiana has a Democratic Gov?

Jay Dardenne and Scott Angelle ran negative ads against Vitter. Say what you want about him or not, without those two tainting the water he would have won easily. JBE presented himself as some conservative democrat while showing his "Honor Code" from Westpoint. He was nothing more than a left wing hack trial lawyer and surrounded himself with the same lefty hacks who have less scruples than Vitter.
