Behind Vitter's Votes

Oh, so Diaper Dave is really planning to run again? That will make for some fine election watching. Via Taegan.

The Fix explains the real reason Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) voted against Hillary Clinton's nomination as President Obama's secretary of state:

"The freshman Senator is preparing to run for re-election in 2010 despite revelations last year that his name turned up in the records of the D.C. Madam. Given those problems and talk of a primary challenge from his ideological right, Vitter's vote against Clinton is a clear signal to conservatives in the state: 'I am still one of you.'"
