Nothing of the kind. Basically, Jindal was polling in the 60s (or even in the 70s according to one poll I read). Scalise was down in single digits, along with everyone else. To try to compete with Jindal would be a waste of time, even Jefferson Parish (Scalise's home district) is filled to the brim with Jindal supporters.

It was a good joke...we kinda deserve it down here...

Let's see, the senate race. Well, I would say odds are against avoiding a runoff. The highest I've seen Vitter so far is at 42 percent (polls available at vitterblog.blogspot.com). Vitter does have enormous advantages that no GOP candidate in LA has had so far, complete unity (he is the only Republican in the race) and a president certain to carry the state and give him coattails. I still think that won't get him to 50% because Chris John and John Kennedy still command support among conservative and moderate Democrats. We would have to really hurt them among rural voters to get Vitter up to 50%. Against multiple Democrats, I don't see how Vitter can get a majority.

I do think Vitter can win the runoff, though.

The question is whether this sets him up to take votes from New Orleans in a possible future senate run...
