Don't know either, don't know LA, but part of me is not troubled by this although the media will hype this as "voters reject Republicans." But we need fewer career pols who go through the revolving door if House, Senate, governor,back to Senate, attorney general, and on and on.

Get a life--preferably outside of politics and in Vitter's case, with his hookers.

Yup. It was the anti-incumbent mood and Vitter was seen by GOP voters as part of the Washington establishment.

That along with his moral short-comings, led voters to repudiate him.

The GOP establishment could have nominated someone else and he might have beaten Edwards.

Vitter had no chance against a Blue Dog Democrat.
