BATON ROUGE -- Voters do not appear to be very excited about any candidate as Louisiana's gubernatorial campaigns head into the final two weeks, a pollster says.

One possible reason: When Verne Kennedy of Pensacola, Fla., asked 600 voters in a poll Sept. 3-6 about their feelings about Louisiana, 45 percent said the state is on the wrong track and things are getting worse. And fewer -- 38 percent -- believe Louisiana is moving in the right direction and things are getting better.

Do you happen to know Jindal's stance on Pro-life? It has to be in the affirmative since he's being backed by Tony Perkins but I haven't heard for sure.

I was leaning toward Blossman, but if Jindal's stance on abortion is equivalent to Blossman's I'll throw my support to him.

Jindal and Blossman are prolife, but I don't think Downer's position is very clear on "life" issues.

I also don't know the Democrats' position on abortion. As a congressman, Buddy Leach (1979-81), was "very conservative."

I posted this article because of the commentary on the Kennedy poll. The Kennedy poll results were posted yesterday through bobbyjindal.com

Thanks for the heads-up!

I'm happy to hear he's pro-life. I will finally be able to vote for a candidate who has a legitimate shot at winning. (Blossman appears to be sinking in most polls.)

I do worry about the political (Morial) machine in New Orleans which is capable of throwing an election to the most liberal candidate.

I maintain today Woody Jenkins would be our Senator had it not been for the "machine" in New Olreans.

Get that cajun vote out my friend, it's the only way to overcome the tainted vote in other parts of the State.

Oh I am telling everyone I know who is ready for a change to vote for Bobby. If we could stop the voter fraud here there would be a lot more good people elected.
