Welcome to the Runoff!: LA 2015 Liveblog

[Skye]

We'll all be so sad when Vitter ends up winning 55-45.

It would be hillarious if this ends up being Kentucky 2.0

[Kingpoleon]

Edwards is 53-47 victory, at least.

You must be truly a morally depraved person to support David Vitter for any office.

^ Wow, I'm really impressed!

I'm so surprised the group of Jindal hacks who run the LABI endorse Vitter!

You don't think Vitter paid for the hookers himself do you?

[Ebsy]

David Vitter losing is going to cause mass hysteria on the right in Louisiana.

[DrScholl]

Edwards outraised Vitter in the past ten days, big time.

Yes, but do any actual people like him?

I DUNNO ALL THE ACTUAL NUMBERS POINT TO AN EDWARDS VICTORY BUT KENTUCKY DUR DUR

Tired of reading this sh**t.

David Vitter really is a disgrace to the Republican Party. #ProLifersForBelEdwards

[Miles]

Since the primary, Edwards outraised Vitter $4.5M to $2.6M.

Republicans have no one to blame but themselves here - once again. I just hope that this moron Vitter won't run for reelection to the Senate, otherwise Republicans can kiss this Senate seat (and probably the majority) goodbye (assuming Vitter survives the jungle primary, which is certainly possible).

Senate races are FAR more partisan than gubernatorial races. Barring a Mitch Landrieu candidacy, no Democrat will defeat an incumbent republican senator in LA, period.

Pretty sure everyone said the same thing about a Democrat winning this year's gubernatorial race.

[DrScholl]

If Vitter loses the gubernatorial race, I seriously doubt he will run for re-election to the Senate and if he did, he would not win a spot in the top two.

In one of the more awkward endorsement ads I've seen, Duck Dynasty's Willie Robertson endorses Vitter.

WOW

Vitter looks like such a dweeb

I actually NEVER had this at Safe R. I had a bad feeling whenever I considered moving it there from the Likely R rating I started the race at.

[IceSpear]

Will Vitter go to the brothel for comfort if he loses?

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

On the bright side if Vitter doesn't get the big boy job, I'm sure he could use the time to get potty-trained.

Yeah, that's why Heidi Heitkamp, Jon Tester, Susan Collins, Mark Kirk and Joe Manchin all lost their respective races in a landslide, right? Not to mention that Landrieu will likely run for Senate in 2016. Vitter is unpopular as hell, a state that rejects him by 10 points or more won't turn around and reelect him to the Senate a year later. John Kennedy would be a much better bet for the GOP here, but then again so would any Republican.

Only one of those five democrats defeated an incumbent Senator (Tester). And MT is pretty universally considered less Republican than LA, so not the greatest example.

I know that MT is a purple state, but my point is that Vitter won't have an incumbency advantage and just because a state votes solidly Republican/Democratic for president, that doesn't mean that a good candidate can't win a Senate race there under the right circumstances. Scott Brown is the best example. Voters are much easier to fool convince than you think.

Vitter looks drunk.

BTW, did strong conservative principles lead to the prostitute scandal?

[Miles]

Pretty accurate:
