I don't see why the morals protest came into play so much for the race for governor 10 years after the whole scandal, when apparently voters didn't care too much about it 2 years after the scandal broke when Vitter won re-election to the senate in a landslide.

You can blame Dardenne and Angelle for that.

Those were two RINOs that were hopelessly outclassed by Vitter on conservative policy with the voting records to back that up so they had to go straight into the gutter of character assassination for 6-7 months and that made the hooker issue a bipartisan issue. If JBE was the only one bringing it up, not enough republicans would've given a shite for Vitter to lose.

It worked pretty well as Vitter couldn't get those republicans in the runoff but it worked pretty well against them too as they are now considered traitors that are persona non grata in the Louisiana GOP after they lost to Clay fricking Higgins or woking for JBE now.

Vitter

Vitter was a cocksucker that most of the people in the state of Louisiana had grown tired of. Nobody really cared that he was banging hookers in a bordello....in Louisiana hat used to be a resume enhancement.

When you go around and start trashing a guy who was your friend (Dardenne)...and they were friends, then you get an enemy because it was personal. If you are Vitter and you go around Acadiana denigrating Angelle, then you piss off Cajuns and they don't like to see some little pansied arse sissy boy from New Orleans doing that . He may have been a RINO, but he was their RINO and a likeable guy despite his flip flopping and slim conservative credentials. Vitter was not likeable

The problem that Republicans have is that sometimes they forget to play politics and do electioneering when its time to play politics...or in the case of Vitter be guilty of malpractice in politics.

If Vitter had kept his mouth shut the 30 days before the primary election and just played stupid and just ignore Dardenne and Angelle, he would be governor today. But he created so much bad blood amongst other Republicans that there was no way that they were going let him win easily.

Edwards played politics and proved to be the superior politician. He went and reached out to Angelle and Dardenne the NEXT morning , promised Dardenne a job and promised Angelle his support should he make the Congressional runoff. That is how you play politics.

Blame Vitter for being a little punk .
