The Louisiana Democratic Party really seems to be enjoying the material they have to work with in the 2010 Senate campaign, considering that the opponent is none other than Republican Sen. David Vitter.
The Louisiana Dems have unveiled a new Web site to go after the incumbent. Keep in mind that Vitter is a champion of the religious right who in 2007 was implicated in the D.C. Madam prostitution scandal and admitted to an unspecified "serious sin." The Web site is named "Doing A Vitter," a pretty clear reference to Vitter's baggage:
Officially, the site defines "Doing a Vitter" as an act of hypocrisy. As a practical consequence, however, this Web site itself tells us that this race is only going to get dirtier and dirtier as the campaign cycle goes on.

Give Vitter some credit for surviving so far. Not all elected officials are quite so shameless and contemptuous of their constituents. The fact that his debacle exposed him as a moral hypocrite while a memeber of the Party of Family Values makes his survival even more "impressive."

I'll be really disappointed if diapers aren't a prominent feature.

I'm surprised there isn't a giant ad for some Kimberly-Clark product on the page. It's such a natural.

Considering Vitter's favorite "sex" act 'dirty" could be the best description of this campaign.
