US Representative Bobby Jindal wins
I spent more than 10 years of my life in Louisiana. It is a place that near and dear to my heart. It is also a place that needs some help. It is a poor state with a terrible education record. Yep, there are some great people in Louisiana. they just need a little help. I have no idea if Bobby Jindal a republican from a New Orleans suburb can do the trick. I wish him well.
The Lt. Governor is a very familiar face - Mitch Landreiu. He goes from a Louisiana political family. He is a democrat with deep ties to the Louisiana political machine. Hopefully, the Governor and Lt. Governor can work together to help New Orleans and the Gulf Coast and their state.
Update: I found this post on Bobby Jindal. Looks like he isn’t that good at keeping his word. Disappointing.

From AP:
U.S. Rep. Bobby Jindal won the Louisiana governor’s race Saturday, becoming the nation’s youngest governor and the first non-white to hold the state’s post since Reconstruction.
Jindal, the 36-year-old Republican son of Indian immigrants, carried more than half the vote against 11 opponents. With about 87 percent of the vote in, Jindal had 53 percent with 588,002 — more than enough to win outright and avoid a Nov. 17 runoff. (more…)
