Melancon stopped at The Town Talk and KALB Channel 5 in Alexandria Thursday morning.
Vitter addressed a crowd at Alexandria International Airport on Wednesday, where he said Melancon was in league politically with President Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, both Democrats and both unpopular in Louisiana.
As he meets constituents, Melancon might have some explaining to do, such as why he voted for Obama's taxpayer-funded bailouts of big corporations, which Vitter voted against. Vitter has hammered Melancon at every opportunity for that vote.
