While he is not ready to make a public announcement, John Maginnis reports Rep. Charlie Melancon (D-LA) has decided to run for the U.S. Senate. Sources say he "he has told national Democratic campaign officials" he will challenge Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) in 2010.

"While Melancon earlier this year seemed to have ruled out running, a renewed press by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, armed with a poll showing Vitter's vulnerability, got Melancon to reconsider."

Fantastic.  Even if he doesn't win, he'll force the RSCC to spend money there, instead of in places like KY, MO, CO, etc.

Any chance Jindal tries to take out Vitter?  That would be an interesting primary to see.
