She'll be back in 2016 because Vitters seat will be an open seat because Vitter is running for Governor.
She deserves credit for hanging in this long in a state that has gotten more R since her first election to the US Senate in 1996.
Does LA not allow Governor's to appoint Senate vacancies? If they do, then Vitter will likely appoint Steve Scalise to the seat in December of next year (Governor's still take office in December no?).
No, Scalise is number 3 in Republican Leadership in the US House. Why would Scalise ever give a leadership role up? I think Boustany or Fleming will get appointed to the US Senate if that in fact is the correct process to go through. My bets are on Fleming at this point.
