Vitter's biggest fight may be in primary

[Louisiana1976]

Sen. David Vitter may have a formidable challenge in the race for his Senate seat next year, according to Politico and The National Journal, but it may come from within his own party.

The speculation comes after a Baton Rouge Advocate interview with Secretary of State Jay Dardenne, where Dardenne said he is conducting a poll to gauge how he would fair in a poll against the incumbent. The National Journal puts Dardenne as further right than Vitter, and they say that threat has played into some key votes.

1. Think he'll put on a fresh diaper for the occasion?

Maybe he'll hand out diapers with his name printed on them: "Vitter - full of shit, just like this diaper will be".

2. Not to mention his other primary challenger's campaign got car-bombed earlier this year

Don't know if it was ever pinned to anyone from the Vitter campaign, but I wouldn't be surprised.

3. Charlie Melancheon's car?

(or however his name is spelled.) Or the former porn star, Stormy Daniels'?

4. It was Stormy's campaign manager, I think

Stormy is facing problems of her own over a charge that she beat her husband, but I don't know if that's been resolved.
