After the scandals around incunbent senator from Louisiana D Vitter (R) seems their seat can be vulnerable, but in Louisiana democratics continue with problems for find strong candidate against Vitter, and seems this incunbent can win and safe their seat.
Possible candidates for Senate in Louisiana:
- John Berlinger Breaux: LA 1944 US Senator from LA 87-05.
- Kathleen Babineaux Blanco: LA 1942 Governor of LA 04-08. Lieutenant Governor of LA 96-04.
- Charles Joseph Melancon: LA 1947 USHRep 05- .
- Thomas Gerald Huckaby: LA 1941 USHRep 77-93. Lost for House 92. Living in Virginia?
- Donald J Cazayoux: LA 1964 USHRep 08-09. Lost for House 08.
- Mitchell Joseph Landrieu: LA 1960 Lieutenant Governor of LA 04- . Lost for Mayor of New Orleans 94 and 06.
- James "Buddy" Caldwell: LA 1946 Attorney General of LA 08- .
I think John Breaux continue being the most popular democratic leader in Louisiana with high difference. In lasts years we heard some speculations about J Breaux can run for governor. In this momment, democratics of Louisina can need J Breaux return by the low level of all others possible candidates? Maybe. Blanco not seems strong candidate against incunbent. With next poll we will try to check the peoples feels around the possible return of Breaux. The people can like he return for this race?
