What makes you think Jindal can win statewide? He just lost a statewide race just over a month ago.

I believe LA has elected senators twice recently that had justb come off a loss in the governor's race. I'm not saying Jindal should run, but he got nearly 50% in a statewide race a few weeks ago, it's not impossible to believe he could do it. Plus, Democrats in the South tend to be less party loyal in Senate races, then races for governor. I don't know if he's the best choice, but I think Jindal would make a great Senator.

Yes you are correct about electing Senators that have just lost the Governor race..... Two of their last three Senators were elected that way... J. Bennett Johnston and Mary Landrieu were both elected the next year after having lost in the Governors race.

Since Reconstruction every elected Senator from Louisiana has come from the Democrat party.... Sometime in the future that will change, maybe this time.....

Jindal I think will go onto other things. I don't have a guess as to what, maybe a place in the next Bush Administration, etc but I don't see him being a Senator or Representative. I see him where he can set his on course more than being one of many in the Congress.
