This might be good in a sense...2 republicans might make the runoff.
The polls show that Roemer, as well as Kennedy and John, all run a dead heat when facing Vitter one on one. Vitter polls well over 15% in the black community, so the conventional wisdom is that he cant hold this against any of the potential runoff candidates, including Roemer. Therefore, those analyzing the numbers conclude that anybody beats Vitter in the runoff. Its a question of getting there.
The polls show Roemer with high name recognition (91%), but also with a very solid negative of 30%. Vitter carries a 2 ½ to one positive-negative rating, John a 4 to 1 positive-negative rating, and Kennedy comes out the best with a 5 to 1 ratio.

I don't know about Roemer. If he could keep Chris John from winning, then good. But I don't think I want him in the Senate. It takes a special guy to lose to David Duke in the Jungle Primary.
