It's all turnout. Before Paris, we had this in the bag. Now I am not so sure. Bottom line, tomorrow at this time we will know.

The diaper bag?

And it's John Bel Edwards, no relation to Edwin "Vote for the crook. It's important." Edwards.

in an online-only poll, gives Edwards a crushing 54-34 edge. A survey from Market Research Insight has Edwards up 52-40, while Greg Rigamer also gives Edwards a clear 50-40 edge. However, JMC Analytics has things closer at 49-44 Edwards ..."

said it was Edwards +13 this morning. Sounded way too high to me but I'm confident. Vitter has bipartisan disapproval and will generate no enthusiasm with anyone. On the flip side unions and the Ds are pushing very hard to get out the vote.

I recently heard one commentator say that as much as Vitter tried to tie Edwards to Obama, it was actually Vitters connection to Jindal that was more damaging. Not sure if i agree with that, but its true that Jindal is disliked here more than Obama.

In Louisiana. Jindal's negatives are over 70% and John Bel has done a tremendous job tying Vitter to him. Not to mention Vitter has his own problems with the hooker issues. Nobody likes Vitter. I'm going to guess JBE 54, Vitter 46.
