he was gone within hours. how is louisiana able to accept all this as part of the deal? >> you've got to think about it this way. there are a couple of things going on here and a couple of instances of karma coming home to roost. you've got campaign karma. in the primary, he went after his opponents calling them used car salesmen. they did blistering spots. now his very first ad of general election season, and boy is he getting it. he's someone who thought this was behind him. seven, eight years ago, you think he's gotten past it. now when you least expect it, it's coming back to roost. >> being a john as they call their customers, it's hard to shake it off because it all happened while you were senator. it wasn't a youthful indiscretion. that poor wife had to stand by him. for another wrinkle in this, why give up a life chance to be a senator to going back to being governor of louisiana? he wants to be huey long? >> that is a separate question.
