U.S. Sen. David Vitter got his biggest standing ovation from the Ouachita Parish Republican Women’s Club today when he expressed confidence in Republican U.S. Rep. Bobby Jindal’s candidacy for governor.
Vitter, R-Metairie, said he believes that former Democratic Sen. John Breaux will likely be ruled eligible to run despite a question about his residency, but that the outcome of the race will remain the same.
“I think he’ll be beaten by Bobby Jindal,” Vitter said to a partisan crowd.
Vitter indicated that he believes the state courts are stacked for Breaux, who has been living in Maryland for the past four years.
“I’d have a lot more confidence that the legal outcome might prohibit him from running if it wasn’t going to be decided by the Louisiana Supreme Court,” he said.
“Louisiana has changed enormously during the past 20 years; I’m proof of that,” Vitter said. “I don’t think John Breaux understands that, but I believe he will after the election.”
