A poll conducted by Southern Media and Opinion Research and released on January 16, 2007, shows only about one-third of Louisiana's voters would vote to re-elect Gov. Kathleen Blanco in a race against U.S. Rep. Bobby Jindal. Jindal, who lost the governor's race to Blanco in 2003, has 59% support in that poll.
Things are looking up for Louisiana!

Good luck to Mr. Jindal. He needs a win.

Good. I remember seeing that poll here.
He's a good man. If they had been smart enough to elect him, things would have gone a whole lot better.

I'd vote for him if I lived in Louisiana.

I know you need him in La., but I wish he would take out Mary "Brown Roots" Landrieu instead.

I'm not sure he can win a statewide race. The party might be better off trying someone who would run stronger in north Louisiana.
However, if the democrat machine in New Orleans is not back in working order, he might have a shot this time.

I thought he had already announced. He already hit me up for a donation.

"I'm not sure he can win a statewide race. The party might be better off trying someone who would run stronger in north Louisiana."I'm no political guru, but Jindal is polling 60% statewide. I am in northeast Louisiana and there is great anticipation of his candidacy. Many folks who did not vote for Jindal in 2003 have regretted that decision and will vote for him this year.
Blanco did not win by an impressive margin in 2003. Basically Shreveport, Baton Rouge and New Orleans put her over the top. She has lost support in these areas because the government dependent are disappointed in her performance during (and after) Katrina. Those disappointed have relatives in the northern part of the state and their opinions have been driven to some extent by those directly affected. Also, many that vote Democrat no matter what have vacated the state and have not returned.
Lastly, I can think of no other Republican in Louisiana who has the exemplary record and name recognition of Jindal. As fieldmarshaldj opined above, it is Jindal's race to lose.

"I thought he had already announced. He already hit me up for a donation."If I recall correctly, it was in November that Jindal said that he was exploring the possibility of running and he asked for donations and volunteers to indicate how much support he might have. He said at that time that he would make a decision after December. While there still has not been a formal public announcement, the email I received clearly references a campaign for governor and it is probably just a matter of time before an announcement is made.

I apologize ... I mentioned your name in post #13 and neglected to ping you at that time.

Rep. Bobby Jindal announced today that he would be a candidate for Governor of Louisiana. As I said in an earlier post, I'd vote for him if I lived there.

The statehouses are looking distinctly low on numbers of solid performers with a future. Jindal will help, if he gets in.

If Blanko Blanco somehow gets reelected, it proves the point Louisiana is almost as lost as California as far as common since.
