A rural newspaper in Louisiana has endorsed Chet Traylor — rival to Sen. David Vitter in the Louisiana Republican primary — to win the party’s nomination. And in so doing they casually raise the possibility that there are more Vitter scandals yet to be exposed.
“It is not our intention to revisit Vitter’s mistakes as a means to follow the lead of the out-of-touch media elite in condemning Vitter at every turn,” write the editors of the Concordia Sentinel. “We will not engage in a rumor mongering campaign either by repeating allegations that another “scandal” involving Vitter’s personal life will surface soon.”
How’s that for subtlety?
Concordia Parish is small and located in rural north eastern Louisiana, which is definitely Traylor country, so the endorsement isn’t in and of itself surprising. But if you thought the most Jerry Springer-like primary race in the country had already reached a crescendo, you may have gotten ahead of yourself.
