A few days after he said he was considering running against Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) in the 2010 Republican primary, former Rep. John Cooksey (R) announced that he will not be challenging Vitter.
“While I do not always agree with David Vitter's position on social issues, I believe David Vitter does a good job representing the people of Louisiana on fiscal matters,” Cooksey said. “If David Vitter emerges as the Republican nominee in the 2010 Senate race in Louisiana, I will vote for him."
But Vitter's not off the hook for a primary challenger yet--Family Research Council President Tony Perkins told Politico that he was considering running against him. If Perkins did run, he would likely emphasize the issue of family values and social conservatism--and he would not let the public forget about Vitter's involvement in the 2007 D.C. Madam prostitution scandal.
