      Can confirm. Louisiana is actively getting worse because our congress is in a phase of revenge passing bills that our democrat governor had been blocking for the last 8 years, now that we have a newly elected republican governor.

        I wish Kansas and Louisiana had more long term memory. Brownback and Jindal were probably the worst governors of the last 50 years, qho did immediate and undeniable harm to their states, resulting in both states voting for Democrats right after. But they then proceeded to go right back to the absolutely terrible ideas.

          I still remember Brownback’s last campaign ad: “The sun is shining in Kansas and don’t let anybody tell you any different.”

          That last bit’s kind of prophetic now.

          I think the bigger reason that Vitter lost was the prostitution scandal. Edwards then turned out to be not so bad in Republican eyes that he got a second term.
