LA-Gov (Verne Kennedy): Edwards Ahead, Vitter/Angelle in close fight for 2nd

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

This Poll is from Late June per Wikipedia (despite the tweet they sourced, linked below, being from earlier this month), but I was not aware of it until now and it doesn't seem to have been posted before.

Edwards (D): 34%
Vitter (R): 21%
Angelle (R): 21%
Dardenne (R): 12%

Remember that there will be a runoff in LA if no candidate reaches 50% on election day.

So...

Republicans: 54
Edwards: 34

Surprised that Vitter isn't leading the Republicans.

For a split second I thought Edwin was up to his old tricks

Wow. I saw another poll with Angelle in first. What a disaster for Vitter. I haven't seen Miles around as much, but I wonder what is happening in Louisiana.

Vitter is one of the weaker Louisiana Republicans. In 2004, he was the only republican on the ballot, but only barely avoided a runoff, running well behind Bush 43 in the state. In 2010, his top challenger tried to bring him down with this scandal: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/melancon-s-first-tv-ad-david-vitter-hasn-t-been-honest-with-louisiana-video. It never materialized due to that year's republican wave, but it's an open question as to whether it would have been a tough race for Vitter in a less favorable climate. Even looking at this race, there have been polls taken of a Vitter/Dardenne runoff (two republicans) - Vitter has been leading in them, but typically only by single digits.

I'm aware Vitter isn't the strongest candidate, but I'm asking about specifics of the race.

Well,
No one can be worse than Vitter. In a republican vs republican match up, I would vote for the canddiate that isn't Vitter.

Louisiana still has David DuKKKe.

Some Democrats should vote Vitter in the primary so Edwards faces the weaker opponent.
