Same here. How would you handicap a Vitter-Dardenne primary?

I'm not a Dardenne fan, but he's way better than Diaper Birther. What do you think Dardenne's chances are, and who would win Vitter's seat in a hypothetical special election?

Who would ultimately win such a crowded primary? Also what are the chances of Mitch Landrieu running?

Vitter is running. Question is whether Mitch Landrieu does. How does his Senate seat get handled under the LA Constitution?

So would the appointee be allowed to run or not? Or would he appoint a placeholder to encourage a competitive Pub primary? Wonder who that would be. Scalise passed this year.

What are the chances Landrieu runs? Either way Vitter is well-positioned for the first Pub-to-Pub Mansion handoff since Reconstruction.

What are Vitter's plans anyways? At any rate I'm under the distinct impression that most of what Dems consider damage has already been done.

Jindal also vocally supported Robertson, dunno if Vitter has said anything yet.

Probably cause I don't follow him on Twitter. Tongue

Miles can correct me if I'm wrong, but IIRC Vitter always had a self-imposed 2-term limit.

If he runs, could he beat Vitter in a primary? Correct me if I'm wrong but a few years ago I had the impression he was between Dardenne and Vitter ideologically. At any rate either one is preferable to Vitter.

Pre-canned obviously, but good timing. He also said this would be his last political office.

Jindal's still unpopular?

How did that happen?

Income tax elimination blew up on the tarmac.

Did Jindal actually get anywhere with that?

Obviously not.

Reluctant candidacies don't usually end well either, so I'd guess he stays out regardless.

Depends if Mitch Landrieu or a Dem capable of making the runoff run. Otherwise Dardenne will use McAllister's strategy.

Vitter leads Landrieu 50/37, Edwards 51/37, Dardenne 41/29.

Too bad they didn't do a jungle matchup.

Jindal's approvals are still in the 30s and he's never been interested in the Senate. More likely Kennedy goes for Vitter's seat, though JNK may still run for governor.
