His buddy would be Governor of Louisiana today if he had learned to keep his pecker in his pants.

Vitter won reelection in 2010 when the scandal was much more fresh.

Where VItter fricked up was that he ran a lazy, completely incompetent and overconfident campaign that underestimated JBE's appeal to moderates and didn't appreciate the threat that he would pose in the runoff. Vitter let JBE sneak into the runoff without so much as airing one single ad spot or sending out even one mailer against him.

Vitter earned and deserved the loss because he assumed that it would be an easy win like his senate campaigns. He was mistaken.

But the scorched earth tactics from the RINO ankle biters in Dardenne and Angelle was also a significant factor and made sure Vitter had no chance. They riled up the moderate republicans and conservative democrats that usually vote GOP so bad that Vitter had no chance of winning them back in time for the runoff.

If Dardenne and Angelle was willing to go that far agains a front runner they had no hope of defeating, they better win as otherwise, they have no future in the Louisiana GOP and they absolutely don't today.
