Welcome to the Runoff!: LA 2015 Liveblog

Edwards knows that he can't win this without running hard. Early voting starts tomorrow, so it is critical for him to start running up score ahead of election day.

[DrScholl]

And the biggest reasons why you can't compare this race to Kentucky are Vitter being tainted by scandal, as well as Jindal being an outgoing disaster. Those conditions are why Edwards is in the driver's seat right now.

[DrScholl]

I'm surprised he isn't denying it as a witchhunt manufactured by Obama and Democrats.

[DrScholl]

Isn't that just drawing more attention to a major negative? It could do more harm than good.

[DrScholl]

Vitter's ad. Not much as far as an 'apology.'

That ad is going to play very well. RIP prostitution story

Trolling is transparent.

[DrScholl]

Edwards outraised Vitter in the past ten days, big time.

If Vitter loses the gubernatorial race, I seriously doubt he will run for re-election to the Senate and if he did, he would not win a spot in the top two.

[DrScholl]

How on earth was Vitter able to go to that forum without the whole venue bursting into flames? That skanky loser really has no place trying to preach family values. He's going to lose and his supporters know it.

[DrScholl]

Forgive my ignorance I haven't paid much attention to the gubernatorial race, but how does Edwards views line up with the national Dem party? Is he close to being a conservadem or is he quite liberal or in between?

IMHO, typical southern populist. Rather liberal (cautiously) on economy, but much more conservative on social issues (including being 100% pro-life as very many Louisiana Democrats are). Good mix for his state, as no "flaming progressive" will win in the next 30 years statewide there...

Someone is very confident in his analysis...

Absolutely. And i don't need any troll comments..

No troll comments here. Chill bro. You seem a bit prickly...must be a Russian thing...

I think he got banned from Swing State Project for his excessive arguing over moderates.

[DrScholl]

Everything is going right for Vitter in the final weeks. He's surging among whites, his ads have worked while Edwards' have backfired, and he's being helped immensely by the Syrian refugee crisis. I look forward to his decisive victory this weekend!!!

You do know that Vitter can't offer you any free prostitution passes, don't you?

[DrScholl]

Why would the refugee thing have anything to do with the governor's race? Vitter is just been desperate. That nasty trick is going to lose and he knows it.

[DrScholl]

Not every person thinks like people on this site think - people vote for a lot of reasons beyond the person with the right policies.

Okay, Atlas Democrats, would you vote for a Democrat with Vitter's character issues over a Generic Republican?

Absolutely not.

[DrScholl]

Let's get back to the subject, which is the admitted lawbreaker David Vitter, who is losing his race in a red state.

[DrScholl]

Comparing it to Kansas is a poor comparison, because Kansas is a traditionally Republican state up and down the ballot. Davis only polled above 50% in one poll, which was Rasmussen and that was an outlier from other polls, which pushed the average overall toward him. With this race, there has been more consistency and Vitter has been in a tougher position than Brownback.

[DrScholl]

Vitter is supposed to be a soldier for Jesus, yet he has been busted for backdating a letter about the Syria.

Integrity doesn't matter? I really beg to differ.

[DrScholl]

I maintain my 55-45 Vitter win prediction and will continue to do so even after the election is over (any Edwards victory will be tantamount to voter fraud).

Someone is hedging their bets in a silly way.

[DrScholl]

A VRA district could conceivably include Baton Rouge, Lafayette and Opelousas without even touching New Orleans. Jefferson, Orleans, Plaquemines and St. Bernard could all be in one district. Of course, that would create two Democratic leaning districts and Republicans didn't want that.
