Charlie Melancon to Help Obama Pass Obamacare

Charlie Melancon (D-LA) has been working hard to portray himself as a centrist Democrat not in love with big spending big government.

He has decided to take his self-portrayed image on the road to campaign against David Vitter for the United States Senate next year.

There’s just one problem for Charlie. Barack Obama today gave away the game in Louisiana.

Charlie is very liberal. He hems and haws his votes to make it look less so. But Obama knows them when he sees them and he knows Charlie is going to work diligently to destroy America’s health care system.

    Melancon’s odds of knocking off David Vitter next year are practically nonexistent. He’s running in the wrong party, in the wrong year, in the wrong state. And when people see this Charlie’s chances are going to sink even further, if that’s possible.

    The depth of anger here over Obamacare, and the level of contempt for Charlie Melancon even in his own district, would be very difficult to overstate. He’s about to put the old maxim that “Cajuns always vote for Cajuns” to the test.
