“Vitter was the best of the lot that chose to run. It’s that simple.”
And he lost because he had a prostitute problem, It’s that simple.
I think we’ve gone full circle. You know why he lost, even if you refuse to acknowledge it. The voters would rather have a democrat without a prostitute problem than a republican with one. Vitter should have known better. But he didn’t know better than to get caught up with prostitutes, so why would he suddenly be struck with good judgment on running for governor? Now LA must endure a democrat because of a republicans prostitute problem.
No, Vitter lost because the Louisiana GOPe chose to undercut him and help a Democrat get elected, rather than a committed conservative.
