Rumor is that Melancon Might Drop of Race Against Vitter

From one of the main Louisiana political reporters.

All Going Vitter's Way
As Washington Mardi Gras gets underway in the nation's capital this year, everything is going the Sen. David Vitter's way, from fundraising to polling.
So much so that a rumor floating through the D.C. Hilton bar on Thursday was that Melancon would drop down and run for re-election in the 3rd District in hopes of saving the seat for Democrats.
"I can put that one to rest right now," states Melancon campaign manager Bradley Beychok, who promised Democrats will wage an aggressive campaign.

Will he? This rumor is not new of course. I have my doubts. One reason that Melancon is running is because well after the Census his seat is likely go to bye bye. So if you are Melancon why not roll the dice. I mean Nov is still a political eternity away and who knows what could happen. I find a Vitter loss unlikely but it is politics. So what does Charlies have to lose.
