General "Don't Get Stuck on Stupid" Honore May Challenge Vitter

Boy, this could be really interesting:

In a breaking story, The Louisiana Weekly and Bayoubuzz.com have learned that the hero of Hurricane recovery, General Russell Honore is seriously considering entering the Republican Primary for the U.S. Senate seat against incumbent David Vitter. Honore, a Republican since the Reagan Administration and a registered Louisiana voter from his Zachary home, has spoken to friends and supporters in the last two weeks signaling that he is, according to one, "more than 50% sure that he will run."

The article seems to think that Vitter will still win the primary, but I'm not so sure. Honore made quite a name for himself in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, is African-American in a state with a large black population, and doesn't have Vitter's hooker problem (at least that we know of so far).

I think he's got a real good chance of winning both the primary and general election.
