Louisiana politics, going all the way back to Huey Long, seem to have always been a dispiriting (if often entertaining) exercise in corruption and disappointment. It will be no different when Sen. David Vitter gears up his gubernatorial campaign. The fact that the sitting governor, Bobby Jindal, actively loathes Vitter, and the fact that Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne is probably going to run, too, means that the state GOP will be at each other’s throats. If Vitter wins the nomination, Jindal will have to pretend to support him, but will he lift a finger to help?
Could Vitter actually lose the governor’s race to a Democrat?
Something to keep an eye on, for the chuckles if nothing else.
