Oh my

Senator Vitter and his chivalrous band of knights continue to make merry.
A trusted aide to Louisiana Sen. David Vitter resigned Wednesday morning after ABC News reported that he had been arrested for attacking his ex-girlfriend with a knife, and had an open warrant for his arrest in Baton Rouge on a drunk driving charge. The aide, Brent Furer, worked on the Republican senator's last campaign, and has spent the last five years posted in his Washington office to handle, among other things, women's issues.

Despite his well-publicized issues with fidelity and prostitution and such Vitter leads Melancon 46-34 among women in this recent PPP poll (PDF) That's 20% undecided for those of you who like counting. But I don't expect this to move the numbers much. There are too many other things going on and I have doubts about any Louisiana Democrat's ability to capitalize on an opponent's weakness.
