Is Angelle supporting Edwards now? We could be heading towards a landslide if he endorses him.

It doesn't appear he'll endorse, but it seems there's significant movement within his supporters towards Edwards.

At least the ones with 5,000 bucks

Never knew Dardenne was Jewish, not that it matters.  Louisiana hardly has any, even New Orleans has fewer than you'd think, if you've ever thought about it.

Polls might be right on this one - Folks we could be seeing a landslide.

Damn, Jay Dardenne is a true FF.

This is definitely good news for Edwards, but I'm still getting serious Kansas 2014 vibes from this race. Many moderate Republicans in Kansas supported Paul Davis, but it still wasn't enough.

[Knives]

I haven't payed much attention to this race but is there a particular reason why Vitter/Jindal are so unpopular?

If Vitter holds Edwards under 50% in the final polling average, he's got a shot. However, I don't see that happening.

[Maxwell]

Polling is sometimes off. It's sometimes off big, like in Kentucky, where it deviated some 10 points. Polling, however, is not off 30 points, which is about what it would take for Vitter to win.

Davis never had a 20 point lead though.

If Vitter holds Edwards under 50% in the final polling average, he's got a shot. However, I don't see that happening.

The last (admittedly - Republican) poll of this race is 49 - 41 Edwards. I am sure both Edwards and Vitter will hit 45% mark, so it's gonna to be close...

P.S. Essentially Vitter's chance is in running campaign against Obama, not Edwards. If (God forbid) i would be Vitter's campaign manager - i would flood mass-media with ads about dangers of electing "John Bel Obama", about Edwards be a "puppet of Obama's adminisration" (and not a church-going good Westpointer with rather strong socially conservative (but - populist) views he is), and so on. Even with somewhat racist (of course - not as direct as David Duke's in 1991) overtones. That's his only chance, but - not so small chance....

Right, but the polls were still significantly off. If Edwards is still ahead by double digits two weeks from now, I'll be less worried. If he's ahead something like 48-45, though...

Honestly, this...

^ If it works (and it works in vast majority of southern races) - why change it??? IMHO - it will work until Obama leaves office...

[Senator Cris]

Brutal JBE ad against Vitter.

[Maxwell]

David Vitter - Prostitutes over Patriots.

daaaaaaamn. Stone cold.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Brutal JBE ad against Vitter.

Wow! That was... memorable.

Good to see though that Edwards is willing to play hardball.

[Ebsy]

Absolutely savage. I approve.

[seanNJ9]

Politics is a blood sport.

[henster]

Good, I was worried Edwards wasn't going to go here. This is his biggest weakness and it needs to be exploited in every ad.

[Brewer]

What an excellent ad.

[Miles]

^ Wow, powerful ad.
