A week and a half ago at a Louisiana Tech University talk, long-time Bayou State political commentator John Maginnis said U. S. Senator David Vitter could be the candidate to beat for Governor of Louisiana in 2015.
From The (New Orleans) Times-Picayune today:
Romney holds big lead in Louisiana; Vitter top pick for governor in 2015, according to poll
BATON ROUGE – Magellan Strategies BR on Monday released the results of an an automated survey of 2,682 likely voters. The survey was conducted Oct. 2 through October 4. The margin of error for a survey of this size is 1.9%. The study measures voter opinion among a wide array of issues and election contests, including the upcoming Presidential, 2014 U.S. Senate and 2015 Gubernatorial match-ups.
In a hypothetical matchup for the 2015 Louisiana gubernatorial contest, U.S. Sen. David Vitter leads a field of six potential candidates. Vitter and New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu were the only tested candidates to receive more than 10 percent support. Additionally in a head-to-head matchup, Vitter leads Landrieu by over 5 percentage points (45.2% Vitter/39.8% Landrieu/15% Undecided).

For Vitter, one would hope that he would just fade away. He was an embarassment for Louisiana but was saved when the whore in DC committed suicide. He will will probably win the governship of the state because he has the whore vote locked up.

I’ve met David Vitter and I’d vote for him for governor. There’s a lot of folks looking to cast the first stone around here and forgetting that we’re all sinners! Vitter came clean about his indiscretions, apologized, and continues to be a conservative voice supporting Louisiana while Bobby’s off to every state polishing up his national political credentials. We all fall short of the glory of God, but God’s ideals are still correct and we continue to strive towards them because it’s still the right thing to do even though we stumble and fall. Being a Christian means helping your brother when he stumbles and not judging him for his failures. And, conservative values are still correct whether one has trouble practicing them or not.

He still has the whore vote and he is not good for Louisiana. I will admit that should he run and win, the Senate would be rid of him and that would be good for the nation. I am glad that you met him but I can’t understand how you could not see through the man for what he is worth – nothing!

You can NEVER discount the power or the whore voting bloc.
Democrats have relied on it for decades. Green whores, Race-baiting whores, Socialist whores, etc.

Well sir, I hope you continue to lead a perfect life and never have need of forgiveness for a transgression. You must tell us all how you manage to be so perfect in this imperfect world. Inquiring minds would like to know. Perhaps you can enlighten us by naming the perfect politician you would consider worthy of the Governor’s mansion.
I also met Governor Jindal and explained how I was looking to hire microchip designers to bring cutting-edge Silicon Valley expertise to LA as he toured LA Tech’s IfM, and he asked me which football team I supported. Bobby’s not the bright bulb you all think he is.

To answer your sarcasm, why not put up Good Ole Les for governor. At least one would recognize him for what he is, a worthless piece of crap out to steal the people blind. He’s getting to be a bit long of tooth but Randy Ewing would make a good governor. Am I perfect? Of course not. Only one individual holds that Honor. Have I ever been in a whorehouse? Never. Just ask Vitter how much he paid for each visit and where did the money come from. He might be able to answer one question – is a whorehouse really red? I am glad that you met Booby Jindal. Not many people from Louisiana can say that due to the extensive travels to other states campaigning for Romney and Ruin. See ya! Oh, by the way, I am willing to trade my governor (Jan Brewer) for a taco. Any takers?

I ask,in louisiana who was the last pol that was not a embarrassment ? Most promise good things but fall short. Too many crooks from local level to Gov. La. New Jersey of the South!
