Oh dear, Vitter really needs to make up ground in order to make sure that Edwards wins the runoff.

It's hilarious how a two-term United States Senator who actually survived a sex scandal is such an indisputably horrible campaigner.

Fascinating! The difference between Angelle getting the second spot and Vitter is huge.

Dardenne is a much stronger candidate, and I could back him much more easily. Crossing my fingers so that I don't need to endorse the nominee of a party as corrupt as Edwards is.

How is he corrupt?

I suspect you are thinking this Edwards is the corrupt former governor Edwin Edwards.  This is John Bel Edwards, this state house minority leader.  From what I've read he is generally regarded as not only being not corrupt, but actually being highly ethical. 

On the other hand, maybe you're using the logic of Sir Humphry from "Yes Minister": "can you really trust a person that seems to be squeaky clean?"

He only survived the scandal because in 2010 more voters were angry with Obama than they were with him.  He got through without a primary opponent (or at least without a major primary opponent, I don't know if anybody ran against him) because he said that 'he had asked God (and his wife) for forgiveness" and he was happy to report that both had forgiven him and, at that time, most Republicans believed him.

Thats why Vitter's only argument against him is the usual Edwards = Obama.

How does that even work for a GOVERNOR race? No wonder he's failing badly.

^ Yeah, thats why he's stumbling so badly these last few weeks, the spying scandal being a perfect example. I don't understand it. Edwards was the first candidate to announce for this race - it not like he made a surprise entry into it or anything. They had all that time to vet Edwards but Vitter's opposition research people must suck.
