Jindal lost b/c the poor whites in North Louisiana and some in So. Louisiana (Tangipahoa and Washington Parishes)wouldn't vote for him. Had they supported him in the same manner they supported Suzie Terrel for senate last year, he would be the governor.

You can assign any number of reasons for this (healthcare, Dem identification, etc) but these are the same people who came out in droves for David Duke in 1991, thus my conclusion is that Jindal lost b/c of racism.

Didn't Jindhal carry the white vote in Jefferson Parish which is also the only place Duke ever won a seat as State Senator for Metarie in 1989?
