Melancon run will be tough

Posted by Marsha Shuler | Capitol News Bureau | on October 3, 2009 | 6:30 p.m.

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Charles “Charlie” Melancon of Napoleonville “has a hard row to hoe” in his bid to oust Republican David Vitter in next year’s election, a Shreveport political analyst said last week.

Political pundit Elliott Stonecipher said Vitter is running against Democratic President Barack Obama and is trying to tie now-congressman Melancon to president who is thought to be unpopular with many Louisiana voters.

“Melancon’s hope is based really on unemployment coming down and the economy doing better,” Stonecipher told the Press Club of Baton Rouge. “Charlie Melancon is not in charge of his own destiny.”
