please vote against Blanco.
Some chocolate must be melting in LA.
Well I hope the voters of LA learned their lesson, somehow I doubt it...
Good news. I thought Jindal really looked impressive the last time around. And Blanco is an idiot.
Yea. I like the guy. Feel sorry for the sorry mess he will have to deal with.
Friends I have in LA. have all stated that if Jindal was Governor when Katrina hit you would not have seen half of this mess. They claim he is a very bright guy.
As much as I would like to think Jindal will be elected, I really feel Louisiana will re-elct Blanco.
History is on her side. Look at Nagin.
Therefore, like Mayor Noggin, she must be reelected.
Blanco isn't running in Narleans, and she isn't black. Getting re-elected is going to be a tall order for her. Jindal OTOH squeaks if you pinch him. He a good clean candidate with a proven record in LA politics. A rare bird for Louisiana.
Except they elected her over himthe last time and she was already a clueless idiot then BEFORE Katrina.
There are many in Cajun country that now admit they didn't vote for Jindal because he was too brown and not Catholic enough. Blanco lied as usual and painted him as brown and a Hindu who only converted to Catholicism to run for Governor. The people I know in Cajun country say they won't make the same mistake twice.
I hope not but those cajuns got the government they voted for last time, so I hope they are blaming President Bush like so many others for Katrina.
They could have had a bright intelligent man, instead of the semi-moran WHITE woman they voted for.
Louisiana's gain is America's loss: Bobby Jindal would be great in the Senate.
Just wait awhile, gov. first then the presidency.
Agreed. The Republicans desperately need some stars in the statehouses - Jindal helps replenish the stock.

We've been down this road once before with Jindal, where a lot of Louisianans were telling the pollsters they were voting for Jindal, and it turned out many of them were lying, so I'm not going to get excited about these numbers.
But Katrina has changed things somewhat there, so only time will tell.
Our communist governor in Michigan, who has made the state an economic basket case (highest unemployment in the Country), polled at 43% six months before the election. She won with 57% of the vote.
Never, ever underestimate the stupidity of the average voter. (See my tagline)
He's a genius, literally. He's a Rhode's scholar, has a gift for weeding out red tape bureaucracy and fraud while allowing more services to reach the individual.
When asked in the gubernatorial debates what he would do if the Big One was aiming for New Orleans he gave a very detailed answer starting with do what was necessary to activate the feds so that all assets could be in place then he went down the list item by item. Blanko said, "I will contact the media."
They were idiots not to elect Jindal last time.
