One term longevity. Welfare reform was very popular in Louisiana. People didn’t vote for this guy. They voted against Jindal and Vitter.

The stupidity of the American people is disheartening - just about the time you think they’ve learned their lesson and elected people who will keep the country prosperous, responsible and strong, they forget everything they learned and regress to silliness and sloth - soon it will be too late to ever go back......

He was term limited; wasn’t on the ballot.

Doesn't the legislature have anything to say about that? Can't they withhold funds.

Yeah, I'm a fine one to talk with the parallel situation here in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

RE: They voted against Jindal and Vitter.

What did Jindal do that earned the ire of the Louisiana electorate?

Why is it that liberals can undo years of popular, conservative policies like Welfare Reform with the stroke of a pen but Republicans are afraid to even try to reign in Obama’s outrageous excesses? Its so freakin depressing.

People prefer lies; even in business, sometimes. Tell them the truth and they get angry or follow the liar. It’s astonishing.

Basically this:

http://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/how-bobby-jindal-wrecked-louisiana/

His budget cuts are often radical and seemingly random and have had some serious repercussions on the basic functioning of courts and schools. His lack of personality compared to frozen tilapia and craven submission to the feds during the Deepwater Horizon episode lost him goodwill as well.

The main problem is the oil crash, IMO. Louisiana, unlike Texas, is too wrapped up in oil money without enough other activities to blunt the blow. Jindal is not responsible for that, but he doesn’t seem to much give a damn either. Instead, he bugged off on his absurd presidential bid because the GOPe was whispering in his ear about how impressive he is, being Republican and brown, and he believed it.

He is pro-life. That is good. But so are about nine in ten in Louisiana. He is not a leader. He never will be. His peak was as a functionary for Governor Foster back in the day, and everything since then has been Peter Principle for him.

“Jindal wasn’t running.”

No duh. Any Republican was still handicapped with Jindal’s continuing unpopularity.

Yet another Edwards bent on the destruction of Louisiana...

Only the fact the GOP ran a loser like Vitter allowed Edwards in.

He’s got to reward his voters for helping put him in office.

Why can’t the Republican majority in the LA legislature just tell to him to STHU, and that he’s already a “lame duck”?
