Vitter Could Get Primary Challenge After Holding Up FEMA Director's Nomination

It looks like the coast still isn't clear in the 2010 Republican primary for Sen. David Vitter (R-LA), with possible GOP opponents now eyeing the race because of his actions to delay the confirmation of President Obama's FEMA Director.

Former state Elections Commissioner Suzanne Haik Terrell, who ran for Senate in 2002 and narrowly lost to Democratic incumbent Mary Landrieu, is now looking at the race, and could potentially mount a strong campaign. Other possible primary challengers include Sec. of State Jay Dardenne and state Supreme Court Justice Chet Taylor.

As New Orleans City Business points out: "Women compose a majority of the Republican voters in Louisiana, and Terrell might be seen as a more palatable candidate than Vitter. While Vitter's wife forgave him for his escapades with the D.C. Madam call girl ring, Republican women throughout the state might not be so forgiving."

WHY NOT confront Mr. Vitter (n.b., not "The Honorable") for what he is . . . .

A LIAR, CHEATER ON HIS MARRIAGE (A/K/A "ADULTERER"), and probably a lot of other
things on which the PRESS has given him a pass.

Wouldn't THAT be poetic justice?

BTW, nothing in the article about FEMA. So what's story? Why are LA ReThugs p.o.d about the FEMA nomination?

I'm not withdrawing my support for Stormy Daniels.
