California is a massive state, and will no doubt get quite a bit of attention, and Iowa is Iowa, even if there isn't a truly competitive race there (yet).<br />On the other hand, Louisiana is a very red state (or at least trending in that direction), and the fact that Melancon can survive as the single congressional Democrat says a lot. By far, this is the most interesting race of the three choices.Armchair Editorialisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14669161668382108302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-56598096026481904522009-07-13T10:52:23.502-05:002009-07-13T10:52:23.502-05:00Thanks for including my suggestion!

In California and Iowa's GOP Governor primaries not everyone is that well known, so the numbers are likely to drastically change as time goes on. For instance in CA, Peter Foy, a conservative Venture County supervisor, is likely to run. He's little known now but has the advantage of being the most conservative in a field of relative moderates. His numbers likely would start out low but get higher if he has the resources to get his name out. <br /><br /> While Charlie Melancon isn't incredibly well known yet the success or failure of his Senate run is likely to have more to do with how Vitter is perceived than any other sole factor. We can immediately tell how popular/ unpopular Vitter is now and how much of an opening Melancon will have.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11005622987197701047noreply@blogger.com
