2. Tightened 57.05 to 42.95 at 11:35

Still a long ways to go.

[yeoman6987]

3. Even tighter now. 13 points spread with 1.6 percent reported.

Long way to go.

[jmowreader]

4. Oh good...

Never mind Vitter's sexual issues, he's just a horrible excuse for a person who needs to be removed from elected life.

[Jarqui]

5. 56.7% Edwards 43.2% Vitter 11.4% reporting

http://dd.aoshq.com/results/2015-louisiana-governor/
that % lead has been pretty steady - little bounce

they're showing a tick mark beside Edwards name ...

Hopefully, this stands

AP calls it

9. The balance of the less than 40% outstanding votes

have to go 65% Vitter 35% Edwards for Vitter to win ... = that's not going to happen

= game over! Vitter loses !!

[KeepItReal]

7. Edwards (D) 56% - Vitter (R-DC Madam Client) 44% with 36% reporting

Unfortunately the reverse holds for the Democrat running for Lieutenant Governor.

Mayor Kip Holden (D) of Baton Rouge is losing 56% to 44%.

8. Oh thank God. (And I'm an atheist.) nt

10. Edwards declared victor by WAFB Baton Rouge

11. Cross your fingers and toes.

He's got to go...and hoping this is the beginning of the end for many PukeBaggers.

12. "John Bel Edwards beats David Vitter to become Louisiana's next governor"

They have called it.

http://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2015/11/louisiana_governor_democrat.html#incart_river_index

State Rep. John Bel Edwards, a relatively unknown Democrat from a rural Amite, will be the state's next governor after toppling Republican U.S. Sen. David Vitter, R-La., in one of the biggest political upsets in the state's history.

No state in the Deep South has had a Democratic governor since Kathleen Blanco left office eight years ago. A Democrat hasn't even come within spitting distance of statewide office in Louisiana since 2008, when former U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu won reelection.

That all changed Saturday (Nov. 21) as Edwards came out of nowhere to take down a Republican candidate once seen as unbeatable in a solidly Red State.

15. That is great news

I have to wonder what Vitter will do now. Next year he is up for reelection. Having lost for governor in an upset, will Vitter call it quits and take his diapers to the private sector (where I'm sure he has a nice plush job lined up) or will he run. It will be interesting to see what happens.

16. "David Vitter not running for re-election in the Senate"

He's outta here....

On to K Street....oh wait, no, he's going to that street where *he* pays others to prostitute themselves.

[Roy Rolling]

13. John Bel Edwards Wins

Say what you want, but we write our own scripts in Louisiana.

An honest and hardworking Democrat is our new Governor.

[Matthew28]

14. hopefully,

Hillary can get Louisiana next year!
