Not surprising if one of the candidate is flawed in the minds of the voters.

I agree but Vitter was a terrible candidate and he should never had tried to run for Governor.

Sorry, Vitter is finis. Nothing but early voting returns from Orleans. Vitter is already drowning but the flood hasn’t hit yet. Not a snowball’s chance....... I wish it were not true.

As a lifelong observer of Louisiana politics, I am sorry to report that based on these returns thus far, there is no way Vitter can win. He has too little strength in key Republican parishes.

Vitter has a lifetime ACU (American Conservative Union) rating of 92 (out of 100). This is very high. Yes, he made mistakes in his personal life, but owned up to them. The only reason he’s in trouble is that the same people who worship the Clintons (and Obama) and say that such issues don’t matter are the same ones pointing fingers at Vitter! John Barack Edwards would be a disaster for our state. His ACU rating is 30, indicative of his liberal record. He’d no doubt be a rubber stamp for everything and anything the regime in Washington DC tries cramming down our throats until the current emperor’s term is over.

Vitter finds like William F. Knowland before he was born that it is hard to move from the Senate to a governorship. The controlled vote against him was too organized to overcome.

This whole Vitter thing reminds me of the John Edwards thing. Of course, in the other case, there was a wife dying of cancer, too. I guess he made the runoff in this election because he won reelection in 2010 and people probably thought he had put the “crazy” issues behind him. Apparently, he had not. Apparently, he just happened to run for reelection in a very good year - 2010.

More than half the precincts reporting, down by 11 percentage points. Without knowing where the votes are coming from, it is hard to tell, but it doesn’t look good.

I remember a senate race @ 12 or so years ago with Miss Mary vs Suzanne Haik Terrell. Terrell was ahead all night, then - ta da! - in came the Orleans Parish votes needed to re-elect Miss Mary.

Looks like everyone called it for Edwards. I guess they found Edwards to be more conservative then Vitter....in some areas that may be true. The good news is Edwards rejected the refugees too. He will be tough on abortion. And as Governor he only can do what the State Legislatures allow him to do.

Hey, I wanted to show you this

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2015/11/jon_bel_edwards_no_friend_to_right_to_lifers.html

I’m not sure of the record for GOP governors but I think we had 32 after 1994.

No, it does not look good. Other GOP candidates are doing fine in those precincts. Apparently, the character issue has legs this year in Louisiana. Or, maybe the public is just sick of Vitter.
