From Quin Hillyer:

New poll re LA Senate race — outgoing Dem AG Richard Ieyoub, 28 percent; Repub. U.S. Rep. David Vitter 15 percent; Repub. former Senate candidate Suzie Terrell 15 percent; Demo. U.S. Rep. Chris John 13 percent. Source: Baton Rouge Morning Advocate.
Hillyer’s take: This is before Breaux throws all his considerable weight behind John. Chris John should handily surpass Ieyoub, if Ieyoub even runs.
Meanwhile, the word is that Vitter is the anointed (or self-anointed, but in this case that’s pretty much the same thing) GOP candidate, for better or worse. That would open up Vitter’s House seat, which greatly interests a very good state Rep., Steve Scalise…. and also is probably of interest to one Bobby Jindal. This is the one area of the state that Jindal carried quite handily for the Senate; if he gets in, he’s almost a shoo-in for election. Vitter, of course, wants Jindal to run for the House seat — because that means that Bobby won’t run for the Senate, and Bobby is the only GOPer who could threaten Vitter’s lock as the top candidate from the right.
The early betting is that Bobby (and everybody else) lets Vitter pursue his burning senatorial ambitions, while Bobby waltzes into Congress in the seat held for so long by Bobby’s earliest backer, Bob Livingston.
