NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Incumbent Sen. David Vitter has easily won
the Republican nomination and will face Democratic primary winner
Rep. Charlie Melancon (muh-LAWN'-suhn) in a U.S. Senate race in
Louisiana.
Vitter and Melancon each defeated two lesser-known candidates in
their party primaries Saturday. With little competition in the
contests, both Vitter and Melancon have already engaged in a war of
attack ads.
Melancon has attacked Vitter for his involvement in a
prostitution scandal. Vitter admitted in 2007 an unspecified
"serious sin" after his phone number appeared in the records of a
Washington prostitution ring.
