You Won’t Have David Vitter To Kick Around Anymore…

… because he is not running for reelection in the Senate!

“I’ve reached my personal term limit,” Vitter joked during his gubernatorial election concession speech at a Hilton hotel across from the airport in Kenner.

Vitter fell to Democrat John Bel Edwards in the gubernatorial election by a double digit margin. If he had run for re-election, he would have entered next year’s Senate race in a weak posture and would likely have drawn strong Republican opponents in a primary. …

“I honestly don’t know if he made [the decision] before tonight or not,” said Luke Bolar, Vitter’s spokesman, about the Senator’s decision to step down.

Vitter’s announcement came as a surprise to the Republicans gathered for his somber election party, even his political allies and congressional colleagues. U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy and state Treasurer John Kennedy, who campaigned hard for Vitter in the governor’s race, said they had no idea he was going to announce he was retiring.

        I am sure he stole enough of our taxes and “campaign” money to hold him for a while!
