... So watch closely these two proud Americans who reached this nation from Europe and from Asia. If they are governors of American states, then they could prove the key to much more than just political victory. They could prove the key to peace and freedom in the world ...
It's about bloody time. No Republican has saved the world since President Reagan dismantled the Warsaw Pact. If only they could save us from our tax code.

Bobby Jindal will have a tough battle in his quest to become governor of Louisiana. Louisiana is a state where the GOP still has not recovered from a war that ended almost 140 years ago. The state has a large black population, and while he will likely do better among blacks than many white Republicans, blacks are still likely to cast their votes for any Democrat over any Republican. Kathleen Blanco is considered a conservative, and many people who would normally support Republicans will be voting for her because of that perception.

Another big problem is that the Republican party in Louisiana is clueless. As a party, we simply don't know how to run campaigns or be effective in grassroots politics. We have numerous candidates who claim to have figured it out, but they still go down in flames on election day.

I'd love to see Mr. Jindal win and will be voting for him. However, I'll remain pessimistic until returns show him actually winning.
