*'''Louisiana'''
[[Louisiana]], a conservative state, was not effected by the national trend for Democrats in 2006 and 2008. Republican [[Bobby Jindal]] was elected Governor by a landslide in 2007, in 2008 John McCain received a larger margin of victory in the state than George W. Bush in 2004, while the GOP gained a House seat in the second district. Yet first-term Republican [[David Vitter]] may be vulnerable for his reelection after he confessed in 2007 to seeing an escort service, which has continued to taint his career. Third-district Congressman [[Charlie Melancon]] has announced his candidacy and is expected to easily win the Democratic nomination, while Vitter may face a primary challenge from Louisiana Secretary of State Jay Dardenne. Adult film star [[Stormy Daniels]] has announced that she is running, but has not stated in which party.
