Republican senate candidate David Vitter is catching a lot of flack for sending out cash money in recent mailings soliciting support from voters. Some are claiming it's illegal vote buying. Vitter claims that "technically" what he's doing is not illegal. Democrats say the move is unethical.

“It’s a shameless attempt to influence the outcome of this election,” said Louisiana Democratic chairman Mike Skinner. “The reality is David Vitter is perpetuating the politics of corruption.”
