In Louisiana, the Republicans may be coming...
According to Fred Barnes at the Weekly Standard:
"Now Vitter is leading the effort to transform Louisiana into a Republican state. He lined up 16 business leaders to donate $100,000 each for a war chest to promote a Republican takeover of the House and lured an experienced operative from Washington, John Diaz, to run the Committee to Elect a Republican Majority in Louisiana."
"The 2007 election, Jindal says, is "a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" for Republicans. "If we do things half right, we have a real shot at a Republican majority in the House," adds Vitter. "We feel very good about our chances to take the majority," says House Republican leader Jim Tucker of New Orleans."
