I'm in Lafayette. Bobby Jindal is a great guy and has potential for much higher office. I expect to see him running for national office within the next 8-12 years. Jindal has an almost unhuman ability to analyze data or a situation then make the right decision based on his analysis. IMHO, the only thing good that came out of "Republican" Governor Fosters time in office was the discovery of Bobby Jindal. Sadly, when Jindal was running for governor, many people who I talked to said they would not vote for Jindal "because he isn't white."
I hope Vitter gets over 50% so he avoids a runoff. The Dems have an amazing ability to resurect Dem voters in large cities like N.O. It looks like Chris John is running scared at this point. It's hard to say how the vote will go in this area. Many voters here make their decision based on where the candidate calls home. If OBL was born in Crowley, he could probably get a seat in Congress.
It was a great loss when Jindal was defeated. I hope he becomes Governor.
Bobby should have won that race... It was the racist hilly-billy KKK'ers that pervented him from being governor, and instead we're stuck with the incompetent Blanco.
