It's OFFICIAL Congressman Melancon to Run For U.S. Senate (Updated)

The Shreveport Times has an article here at Melancon running for U.S. Senate

Now these raises interesting possibilities about his House seat. This seat is very likely going bye bye after the Census(one reason Melancon is running against Vitter) So that will that influence potential people of either party that might for for it?

Update Vitter Responds

Sen. David Vitter today issued the following statement regarding Charlie Melancon's announcement that he will challenge Vitter in the 2010 Louisiana U.S. Senate election:
"I welcome Charlie to the race and look forward to an important, spirited debate. We are at a true crossroads in our history. And our two very different records - on who we supported for president and where each of us stands on health care reform and the bailouts, stimulus and the Obama budget that triples our debt - present a very clear choice," said Vitter
