It’s really too bad ex-Louisianan David Kurtz isn’t here today to write about Edwin Edwards’ bid for Congress. The famed ex-con governor and failed reality TV star did an interview with MSNBC’s Chuck Todd in which he claimed he totally would have voted for Obama in 2012 — if he hadn’t been convicted.

This ought to be a fun race.

Correction: This post originally implied Edwards misrepresented his voting status. He was on parole and unable to vote.
