Retired state Supreme Court justice and U.S. Senate candidate Chet Traylor of Monroe claims he holds the moral high ground in his campaign to unseat incumbent U.S. Sen. David Vitter, R-Metairie, in next month’s Republican Party primary.
“Chet’s reputation is impeccable,” Traylor’s campaign manager Lev Dawson said last week as the campaign opened.
Both Dawson and Traylor have said there is little difference politically between the two Republican candidates, but that Vitter’s personal foibles — including a 2007 prostitution scandal when Vitter’s name appeared in the phone records of the so-called “D.C. Madam” and his continued employment of an aide accused of attacking his girlfriend with a knife in 2008 — could be exploited by Democrats if Vitter is the Republican candidate in the general election in November.
