On November 2nd, 2004, Congressman David Vitter won the seat of retiring senator John Breaux. Vitter Blog's mission is now complete, and we acknowledge and honor the hard work of all that worked to elect Louisiana's first Republican senator since Reconstruction. With that, we now turn our attention to other blogs, who will be documenting the races in their states.

Happy 2nd to Toomey Blog! (And a new surprise as well)

Phew.

Well, retirement has been, well, busy. Katrina has turned my state into a mess. In any event, I've come out from the woodwork to post this celebratory notice. As you may know, Vitter Blog was inspired by a similar blog named Toomey Blog, which followed and promoted the candidacy of Rep. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, who was trying to unseat liberal Republican Senator Arlen Specter. Needless to say...it didn't turn out as well as we hoped it would. But it inspired a slew of candidate centered blogs determined to get the message out on the internet about conservative Republicans running in their prospective states. Some like David Vitter and John Thune succeeded. Others, like Herman Cain and Miller in Alaska, did not. This time around blogs are following the candidacies of people like Mark Kennedy of Minnesota as well as....well you'll find out in the link below.
