Vitter: GOP candidate is a ploy
Source: Associated Press

BATON ROUGE — Republican U.S. Sen. David Vitter is accusing Democrats of bankrolling a GOP opponent to Vitter in the U.S. Senate race.

The last-minute entrance of former Louisiana Supreme Court Justice Chet Traylor was a surprise challenge to Vitter in the Aug. 28 primary, and Vitter's campaign claimed Friday that Traylor's candidacy is a ploy by Vitter's Democratic opponent Charlie Melancon.

With reports that Traylor will begin his radio and TV ads next week, Vitter's campaign sent out a fundraising e-mail that calls Traylor a "tool and stalking horse for Charlie Melancon." The e-mail never mentions Traylor by name, instead calling him Vitter's "so-called Republican opponent."

2. Ha. The GOP is already getting their excuses ready for their big losses in November.
It is the Democrats fault, you see. :cry:

5. I hope you're right. Unfortuately, Vitter won't be one of them
somebody like Mitch Landrieu might have a shot at him eventually. This time around, he's safe. Melancon hasn't gained any traction against him.

7. I know he wouldn't get them but
wouldn't if be nice if the country flooded his home office and the one in DC with pictures and pictures of diapers. And tell him he can get coupons for any size he needs ON LINE

12. I thought Traylor was getting Tea Party support.
Personally, I'm loving that their paranoia is chewing away at them. Reminds me of Nixon.

18. "I'm a victim!" No one could possibly be bothered by my hypocracy (per family
values as a candidate, and persistent use of prostitutes as a person) - it *must* be a set up. Victomhood is mine, responsibility for my own behavior... absent.
