• Ouch. Someone’s got a big problem. Louisiana Sen. David Vitter is an incumbent and a relative lock for re-election. Too bad that he doesn’t have an endorsement from someone who should be a close ally. “Voters can make up their own minds,” said Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, who’s currently very popular in his home state. Why did Jindal pass on endorsing Vitter? Two likely reasons: First, Vitter was involved with a D.C. escort in 2007, and second, Vitter allowed one of his top staffers to stay on the job despite domestic abuse charges, though he later stepped down. Still, that’s kind of harsh. source
